Course Details
Course Structure
The MS degree requires 24 hours of course work plus thesis, and the MCS requires 27 hours plus project [1]. The MS requires at least six hours of thesis research. The MCS project counts three hours toward the degree and is assigned a grade by the student’s advisor. Following the 30 hours of studies required for the Master’s degree, a Ph.D. student will take whatever courses (at least six hours) are necessary to supplement his, or her, research for the dissertation.
International Exchange & Double Degrees
SEAS (School of engineering and applied sciences) International Programs offers information, advising and logistical support to engineering students interested in international programs. The University’s International Studies Office (ISO) offers information on study abroad programs across the University, plus travel, visa, passport and other logistical assistance.
While the majority of SEAS students go abroad during the summer or January Term, semester-length programs remain a viable option. SEAS offers short study abroad programs, designed for engineering students and led by SEAS faculty, in Germany, Argentina, Guatemala, Panama and France. SEAS also offers numerous opportunities to engage in engineering service learning, primarily in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama and South Africa.
Internships
The Center for Engineering Career Development is an independent career services office regardless of the job market, a career-related summer job or internship is critical and can make the difference when it comes to obtaining a full-time position. More employers are using work experiences as screening devices to assess the skills and abilities of prospective employees. Skills learned on the job supplement the skills learned in the classroom. A career-related summer job or internship is likely to give you a competitive edge when you seek your first job.
