About the course

Students who are admitted to the Master?s program may choose to complete either the thesis option or the non-thesis option.

　　Thesis Option. The thesis option is highly recommended because it includes conducting independent research and a publishable report (or thesis). Outstanding performance in the thesis option Master?s, provides students with a distinct advantage when applying for a Ph.D. program or employment. Admission to the Ph.D. requires that the student provide evidence of the ability to perform independent research.

　　The thesis option requires a minimum of 21 graduate semester hours of technical and quantitative course work and a thesis. Research credits acquired through the thesis research registration of ME 698 fulfill the remainder of the requirement for a total of 30 credit hours.
