1

Students who have completed the undergraduate equivalent of the graduate course may not take the graduate course toward the degree. Example, students who completed ENGR 42410 may not take ENGR 52410.

2

Students who completed ENGR 43030 may not take ENGR 53030 toward the degree. Instead, they must discuss an appropriate alternative with their advisor, to be approved by the graduate program representative.

3

Before registering for a mathematics (MATH) course, students must contact the Department of Mathematical Sciences to request a prerequisite override.

4

Students selecting the thesis option complete 3 credit hours of ENGR 65098 and must continually register for ENGR 65199 for maximum 6 credit hours toward the degree (students may need to register for ENGR 65299 to complete the thesis requirement; however, those credit hours do not, under any circumstances, count toward the degree).

5

Students selecting the non-thesis option complete 3 credit hours of ENGR 65098 and 6 credit hours from the elective options in the program. At minimum, the non-thesis activity requires a report and presentation and/or demonstration.
