Course Description

The quantitative requirement for the degree is 30 credit hours. A minimum of 24 of these units must be course work, and a minimum of 6 units must be Masters Research, MEMS 599. The overall grade-point average must be 2.70 or better. Courses may be chosen from 400- and 500- level offerings. All must be engineering, math, or science courses with the following restrictions: A maximum of 3 units of Independent Study, MEMS 500, are allowed. A maximum of 6 units of 400-level courses are allowed, and these must be from courses not required for the BSME degree (if counted for the MSAE) or not required for the BSAE degree (if counted for the MSME degree).
