Culminating Events:
Thesis Track:
The culminating events in the Thesis Track are typically undertaken during the last two successive terms of study. Successful completion requires the following:

Thesis Proposal 鈥� 颁贰贰听9995 Project (3 credits)
Under the guidance of the advisor, the student conducts independent research on an applied engineering topic of current interest and registers for 颁贰贰听9995. This work includes the research and preliminary results that form the basis of an extended study that the student plans to carry on in 颁贰贰听9996 Thesis in the following term. The student submits a research report as their Thesis Proposal to a committee consisting of three or more faculty members, including the faculty advisor, and presents their proposal in an open College-wide seminar, which is scheduled and posted at least 10 business days in advance of the presentation date. Immediately following the presentation, the student's advisory committee questions the student about the details and strategy of the proposed research. The committee then accepts, accepts with revisions, or rejects the proposal.
The student must pass the Thesis Proposal before registering for 颁贰贰听9996. If the student fails Thesis Proposal, they may either re-register for 颁贰贰听9995 (1 credit) in the next regular term and repeat the entire proposal process or consider switching to the Project聽or Coursework Track. NOTE: A second failure of聽Thesis Proposal results in automatic dismissal from the University. If switching to another track, the Plan of Study form requires updating and appropriate approvals.
Thesis Defense 鈥� 颁贰贰听9996 Thesis (3 credits)
The student should register for 颁贰贰听9996 in the term that they plan to defend the thesis. The thesis document should be prepared in a format compliant with University standards. (See Graduate School Policy 02.26.12.02.) Two weeks prior to the thesis defense, the student provides the committee with a copy of the completed thesis and posts an announcement of the defense, which is to take place during a regular academic term (i.e., not scheduled during study days, final exams, or the breaks between terms). If the student is to graduate in the same term as the thesis defense is held, then the defense should take place at least 30 days prior to the end of the term.
The thesis defense is an open College seminar in which the student presents the concepts and results of their research. Immediately following the defense, the thesis committee convenes to closely examine the student's research and decide to accept the thesis as provided, accept the thesis with revisions, or not accept the thesis. If the thesis is accepted, a letter grade for 颁贰贰听9996 is assigned. If the thesis is accepted with revisions, then the student must submit the revised thesis within 30 days and with the approval of the Thesis Committee. If the thesis is not accepted, but the committee decides to not fail the student, an "R" grade is assigned to 颁贰贰听9996. In the following term, the student registers for one credit of 贰狈骋搁听9991 Directed Research until they are again prepared to attempt the defense. The defense procedures described above are then carried out again in the term that the student is prepared to defend the thesis.

Project Track:
The culminating event for the Project Track is 颁贰贰听9995 Project. This entails a one-term research activity done under the supervision of a full-time faculty advisor on an applied engineering topic of interest. Near the end of the term, the student prepares a report of their findings and presents the study in an open departmental seminar. Both the seminar and the written聽report are used to determine the student's grade for 颁贰贰听9995. The grade is determined jointly by the advisor and another designated grader selected by the Graduate Program Director.

Coursework Track:
No culminating event is warranted for the Coursework Track.
