Continuing Enrollment for Research
EGN 5911 - Research (0 credit)
This placeholder course is used to maintain student’s enrollment in the graduate program with the primary purpose of conducting research. Research credits (EGN 5911) may be used in situations where thesis completion takes longer than expected, in addition to the minimum required thesis hours above. Program extensions are subject to departmental approval, and do not extend Graduate Assistantship appointments. Extensions may not exceed two semesters (excluding summers) after successful completion of Thesis 2.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree, students are expected to demonstrate the following:
1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems of single or multidisciplinary nature by applying principles of engineering, science, mathematics, and analytics;
2. an ability to acquire and apply knowledge using appropriate, discipline-based learning strategies drawn from relevant coursework and/or research;
3. an ability to apply business fundamentals, develop professional skills, and address complex challenges in the current climate of STEM fields.
Students in the thesis program are also expected to demonstrate the following:
a) an ability to develop methodology of the proposed body of research that produces solutions and further inquiry;
b) an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation with a systematic approach, analyze and interpret data, and use foundations of engineering to draw conclusions.
