Thesis work should clearly demonstrate the ability to execute independent, innovative research. The research should be original and make a contribution to the state-of-the-art. Thesis work is the substance of the MS degree. It must be written, in whole or in part, as a technical paper and submitted for publication prior to the awarding of the degree. The student should be the senior (first) author. The required sequence of courses below are designed to apply the principles of thermodynamics, transport, reaction kinetics, crystal defects, and other materials fundamentals in contemporary materials engineering areas involving and reinforcing issues of structure, properties, processing, and performance. All students must successfully complete these courses with a 3.0 GPA: MME 5401 Microstructural and Microchemical Characterization of Materials MME 5302 Materials Extraction, Synthesis, and Processing MME 5403 Advanced Concepts in Materials Science and Engineering MME 5304 Phase Transformations and Microstructures
