**Up to 2 credits of EE 788 may be counted toward the Electrical Engineering emphasis.
**Up to 2 credits of MES 788 may be counted toward the Materials Engineering and Science emphasis.
Elective requirements
- An additional 6-9 credits of coursework may be taken in either the technical area or in management.
All electives must be approved by the student’s advisor or advisory committee.
Examinations
Each student is required to complete a written Master’s examination to graduate from the program. The Master’s exam is administered by the department or program for each emphasis area, and is given in the student’s final semester before graduation. The student is presented with a list of problems or issues drawn from the degree emphasis and is asked to prepare a proposal for a project intended to solve one of them. The proposal should address the technical background of the problem, the promised deliverables, the management structure of the project team, a work plan for completion, and a costing and budget analysis, in fifteen pages or less. The proposal must be submitted to the emphasis area program coordinator no later than the last day to hold a thesis or dissertation defense as scheduled by the Office of Graduate Education. The program coordinator must report the examination results to the Office of Graduate Education using the form on the Graduate Education web page.
