The program leading to the Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering requires completion of a minimum of 30 points of approved course work consisting of no fewer than ten courses. A thesis based on either experimental, computational, or analytical research is optional and may be counted in lieu of up to 6 points of course work. In general, attainment of the degree requires two or three semesters of full-time study, although it may also be undertaken on a part-time basis over a correspondingly longer period. A minimum grade point average of 2. 5 is required for graduation and matriculation. The M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering requires a student to take a sequence of courses that shows a 'clearly discernible specialty or concentration. ' In consultation with his/her advisor, an M.S. student can develop a concentration specifically tailored to his/her interests and objectives, and we refer to this as the, Standard Track. Alternatively, M.S. students can pick from a set of pre-defined concentrations, or Special Tracks.
