Requirements for the MSE with essay (6 courses) The student must complete six graduate level, i.e. 600 and above, courses approved by the student’s research advisor and the Director of the Master’s Program. The student and research advisor select these courses to design a curriculum appropriate for the student’s research interest and educational goals. These six courses cannot include seminars, independent study, graduate research or special studies. They should be at least 3 credit hours per course. Students are allowed to substitute any combination of 1-2 credit hour courses (not to include seminars, independent study, graduate research, or special studies) for one of their 3 credit hour courses. At least four of the six courses must be in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department (540.xxx or 545.xxx). Exceptions to this rule must be approved by the Director of the Master’s Program. A course from a department other than ChemBE may be allowed to count as one of the four courses only if the course has significant Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering content, is 3 credit hours (or the student intends to use their one allowable substitution on a set of courses that add to three credit hours), and is consistent with the student’s research interests or educational goals. Students are allowed to count 400-level courses towards their MSE degree if (1) the course is not offered at the 600-level and (2) if the department offering the course considers it to be a graduate-level course in their program. Courses offered at both the 400- and 600-level must be taken at the 600-level to fulfill MSE course requirements. All ChemBE coursework must be taken at the 600-level. The student must also enroll in at least one semester of graduate seminars (540.600/601) throughout his or her tenure. Students must have a B average in coursework to complete this degree. No D grade in ChemBE courses can be counted toward the requirements. In a given semester a D, F or 2 C grades result in probation. Once in probation an additional C grade will result in termination from the program. A student will remain on academic probation until the courses with the D or F grades have been re-taken for a higher grade or (if no D or F grades were present) the student attains a B average in their coursework. Students must remain in good research standing with their research advisor. Failure to do so will result in probation and transfer to the coursework MSE program. The student must write an essay based on original research and literature review and present his or her results at an open seminar attended by the faculty and students. The essay must be approved by the departmental graduate committee, which consists of the graduate research advisor and at least one more faculty member from the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. More details on the essay are provided below. Completion of Responsible Conduct of Research training.
