Students enrolled in a thesis option follow a 30-hour program that is composed of 24 hours of course work plus six hours of thesis (MECH, IE, or MFG 3598 and 3599). Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering students pursuing the thesis option must have approval from the corresponding program's Graduate Advisor. Non-thesis students follow a 36-hour program. For the Mechanical Engineering degree, the non-thesis option may include up to six credit hours for Graduate Projects (MECH 3596 and 3597). Students selecting the non-thesis option in Industrial or Manufacturing Engineering are required to take a comprehensive examination (IE 2591 or MFG 2591) upon completion of their coursework. All students enrolled in the Mechanical or Industrial Engineering program must take at least fifteen semester-hours of course work within their major if they are following the thesis option or eighteen if they are following the non-thesis option. Students enrolled in the Manufacturing Engineering program must take at least fifteen semester-hours of course work offered within the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering if they are following the thesis option or eighteen for the non-thesis option. No more than six semester-hours of approved upper-level undergraduate course work may be used to satisfy the degree requirements in the Mechanical, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering programs. All course work must be approved by the student's academic advisor and by the Graduate School. Specific requirements for each Master's program are available from the Department.
