Our Department offers a range of programs to suit individual interests and needs. All programs can be undertaken on either a full-time or part-time basis. Brief synopses are given in the following.

Master of Science Degree (Thesis Option) is for students desiring to enhance their capabilities in engineering science and design and to gain research project experience by engaging in a team effort with a faculty member in an area of national concern.

Master of Engineering Degree (Non-Thesis Option) is for students desiring to advance their expertise in engineering science and design through a concentrated course of study.

Doctor of Philosophy Degree

Candidacy for the Ph.D. degree follows passing of the qualifying examinations, which also emphasize broad grasp of fundamentals, and forming of a special Ph.D. committee. In most cases, largely through the dissertation, the candidate emphasizes one or more specialized fields and engages in extensive research in collaboration with one or more faculty members. Research opportunities involve strong programs in both analysis and experimentation.
