Other Program Requirements (Non-Thesis Track)

1. Each candidate in the Non-Thesis Track of MSME Program must have accomplished the following by the end of their second academic semester to maintain program eligibility:
   • Identify a project adviser (project chair) and form a Project Committee.
   • Determine project topic, and present project proposal to their Project Committee.
2. Each candidate must receive approval from the Graduate Director or Department Chair of the Mechanical Engineering to take courses that are not named specifically as degree electives.
3. Each candidate must complete their project on a subject approved by their committee.
   • The comprehensive exam of the research project must be announced to public one week prior to the defense. The comprehensive exam must be presented at a public exit seminar.
   • The comprehensive exam must be defended before the committee.
   • The comprehensive examination may include questions on the project, and subject matter related to the research project, and related course work.
   • In addition to the comprehensive exam, the student must provide the adviser with all data that was collected, including: electronic files, and a written document detailing the contents of the data.
   • The degree is conferred at the end of the semester, after the student has passed the comprehensive exam and the final written version of the project report has been approved by the committee and accepted by the graduate college.
4.  A minimum of 50% of courses for the Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree must be taken at or above the 6000 level.
