Requirements for the Master’s Degree


To develop the skills that recipients of master’s degrees are expected to possess and use effectively, students enroll in courses that sharpen their analytic tools and provide practice in the application of these to engineering problems. Students may also select studies that develop an appreciation for society’s constraints on, and opportunities for, science and technology. The MCHE program is typically elected by students wishing to carry out industrial design analysis or process and product development, and by some students who continue their studies toward the PhD. The formal requirements of 24 credit hours of course work and a 6-credit-hour thesis for the MCHE degree are substantial and are recognized as such by industrial organizations. A non-thesis MCHE degree of 30 credit hours of appropriate course work is also a degree option in the department.
