Minimum Total Credit Hours: | 31 |
Students selecting the non-thesis option as their culminating requirement need to complete 3 credit hours of ENGR 65098 by working with a faculty member to complete a project. Students should meet with their advisor to discuss project topics well before their final semester. Additionally, these students are required to take an additional 3 credit hours from the Aerospace Engineering Electives list (for a total of 9 credit hours) to ensure that 31 credit hours are completed for the degree.
Before registering for a mathematics (MATH) course, students must contact the Department of Mathematical Sciences to request a prerequisite override. Students may be required to demonstrate prerequisite knowledge depending on the course.
Students selecting the thesis option must successfully defend their research thesis in a public setting before the thesis committee. Upon approval of the thesis topic, the student is required to register continuously for ENGR 65199 each semester for a total of 6 credit hours. A student who has completed the required 6 credit hours of ENGR 65199 but has not finished the thesis is expected, thereafter, to register continuously for ENGR 65299 each semester until all degree requirements are met. No more than 6 credit hours of ENGR 65199 may be counted toward the completion of degree requirements. Credit hours earned in ENGR 65299 do not, under any circumstances, count toward the degree.
