Program Description
- STEM designated program
This program is intended to develop the graduate student’s knowledge in the advanced fields of engineering. Students with undergraduate education in the fields of engineering, chemistry, technology and materials science are welcome to pursue this program. The wide range of engineering, materials science, and textile courses will prepare the student to make significant contributions in either advanced engineering, material science, or textile fields. The carefully integrated educational offerings at the University enable the student to be exposed to a wide range of professional education possibilities. A thesis experience is provided during the final two semesters.
Learning Goals/Outcomes
- Demonstrate knowledge & proficiency in technical aspects of engineering
- Analyze and criticize established theories and synthesize new theories.
- Understand and evaluate engineering theory
- Apply their acquired skills toward the development of a unique research project
- Demonstrate a competent knowledge and proficiency in the field of engineering, materials science, or textile engineering
- Perform written and oral technical communications at a competent level
Curriculum: 2 Years, 30 Credits
- For students matriculating in the MS Engineering program with no undergraduate background in engineering, a group of foundation courses may be required. The foundation courses will be determined at the time of admission by the program director.
- Students select 8 courses from TEXT or ENGR options
- ENGR 701 Thesis I and ENGR 702 Thesis II, taken the final two semesters, are required.
