Objective
The Master of Engineering Degree Program is designed to:
- Develop an understanding
of the importance of a closer relationship between engineering education
and engineering practice.
- Develop an appreciation
for design in product and process realization.
- Develop a consciousness
for the importance of a personal commitment to career-long learning.
- Provide an alternative
to basic research-oriented graduate degree programs.
- Develop a philosophy
for the role of research and application in the product/ process realization
cycle.
- Provide an innovative
path to the terminal degree.
- Generate a cadre of
practically trained professionals in Engineering.
Admission
to Program
For unconditional admission, applicants must have earned a minimum undergraduate
academic grade point average of 3.0 in their major area of study and
not less than a 3.0 average overall. For conditional admission, applicants
must have earned a minimum undergraduate average of 2.5 in their major
area of study and not less than 2.5 average overall.
Applicants holding degrees
in computer science, physics, and other science and mathematics-related
fields and who are currently pursuing engineering careers may be considered
also for admission to the program.
Other admissions criteria
include the following:
- Recommendations from
practicing professional engineers and/or other professionals or academicians;
- Career objectives
as outlined in an entrance essay to be completed by the applicant;
- Previous academic
achievement, professional accomplishments, and earned degrees; and
- Results obtained on
the Graduate Record Examination (to be sent directly from Education
Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey). Test scores may not be more
than five years old prior to date of application.
General
Requirements for Degree
All students who seek to earn the Master of Engineering degree will
be required to complete a total of 33 graduate credit hours including
2 credit hours of seminar and 4 credit hours of Report Projects.
Program
of Study
A core requirement of three interdisciplinary courses will be required
of all students entering at the master's level. These courses are carefully
designed and coordinated to stress the interdisciplinary nature of the
subject matter. The content serves as the philosophical foundation on
which all other materials tailored for a specific student are based.
The courses are as follows:
| EEGR.505 |
Advanced Engineering
Mathematics with Computational Methods |

| IEGR.512 |
Advanced Project
Management |

| CEGR.514 |
Environmental Impact

| CEGR 788/789 |
Seminar I-II |
2 |
| CEGR 798/799 |

Additional courses will
be taken as required from the student's approved plan of study, which
will be developed cooperatively by the student and his/her Graduate
Admissions Committee and submitted to the Graduate Coordinator for approval.
The remaining 18 credits
will be taken as electives from the students approved program of study.
Programs are available
for students concentrating in six broad areas of concentration, namely:
