MSE Graduate Research

3 - 10 Credits.

This course will provide a Mechanical Engineering graduate-level research experience to those pursuing either an “all-course” or an “essay” master’s degree, which will help a student engage in research on a specific topic and/or in a specific research group under faculty supervision. Prior to course registration, students will submit a research proposal for approval by the research supervisor and the student’s faculty advisor. In case the faculty advisor is the same as the research supervisor, the proposal should be submitted to the Mechanical Engineering department’s Director of Graduate Studies for approval. The research will be the equivalent of at least three credits, or approximately 120 hours of work in a typical semester.
