Major Requirements

¹

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 completion of degree requirements. Credit hours earned in ENGR 65299 do not, under any circumstances, count toward the degree.
