Students enrolled in a thesis option follow a 30-hour program that is composed of 24 hours of course work plus 6 hours of thesis (MECH, IE, or MFG 5398 and MECH, IE, or MFG 5399). 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 6 credit hours for Graduate Projects (MECH 5396 and MECH 5397). Students selecting the non-thesis option in Industrial or Manufacturing Engineering are required to take a comprehensive examination (IE 5291 or MFG 5291) upon completion of their coursework. All students enrolled in the Mechanical or Industrial Engineering program must take at least 15 semester-hours of course work within their major if they are following the thesis option or 18 if they are following the non-thesis option. Students enrolled in the Manufacturing Engineering program must take at least 15 semester-hours of course work offered within the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering if they are following the thesis option or 18 for the non-thesis option. No more than 6 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.
