Degree Requirements - MSME
w Thesis Option. A program of study for the thesis option must include a minimum of 24 hours, in addition to the thesis and any required deficiencies, consisting of
 |
- At least 12 hours of Mechanical Engineering courses at the 5000 level or above.
- At least 6 hours of acceptable mathematics.
- No more than 3 hours of MEEG 591V, Special Project. New courses in development are often taught as MEEG 591V before they are assigned a course number. These and are not included in the 3 hour maximum.
A minimum of 6 semester credit hours of thesis, MEEG 600V, are required in addition to the coursework outlined above, but the hours should realistically reflect the effort expended. Hours of MEEG 6800, Graduate Seminar, are not included in the totals above.
w Non-thesis Option. A program of study for the non-thesis option must include a minimum of 33 hours, in addition to any required deficiencies, consisting of
- At least 18 hours of Mechanical Engineering courses at the 5000 level or above.
- At least 21 hours in Mechanical Engineering.
- At least 6 hours of acceptable mathematics.
- No more than 6 or less than 3 hours of MEEG 591V, Special Project. New courses in development are often taught as MEEG 591V before they are assigned a course number. These are not included.
Hours of MEEG 6800, Graduate Seminar, are not included in the totals above.
All 4000 level and higher courses in the Graduate Catalog, except those required in the BSME curriculum, may be used for graduate credit. Graduate credit is granted for certain 3000 level math courses, but these can comprise no more than 20% of the graded coursework in one's program of study. The following courses are acceptable for fulfilling mathematics requirements:
MATH 3423 Advanced Applied Math
MATH 3443 Complex Variable for Application
MATH 4353 Numerical Linear Algebra
MATH 4363 Numerical Analysis
MATH 4503 Differential Geometry and Vector Calculus
MATH 4513 Advanced Calculus I
MATH 4523 Advanced Calculus II
MATH 5303 Ordinary Differential Equations
MATH 5313 Partial Differential Equations
MEEG 4703 Math Methods in Engineering
MEEG 4733 Numerical Methods II
MEEG 5003 Continuum Mechanics
PHYS 5073 Math Methods of Physics I
PHYS 5083 Math Methods of Physics II
INEG 4333 Industrial Statistics
STAT 5103 Theory of Statistics
Receiving graduate credit for MATH 3423 and/or MATH 3443 requires completion of the Graduate Credit for 3000 Level Math Course form. This form must be signed by the instructor and submitted to the ME Department during the first week of class.
