You may formulate a program of graduate study with a major in chemical, civil, electrical, industrial and systems, or mechanical engineering. The M.S. degree is offered in chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical and computer engineering, industrial and systems engineering, and mechanical engineering; the Ph.D. can be earned in chemical engineering, electrical engineering, and in an interdisciplinary program with specialty areas in materials processing, geotechnical and environmental, and intelligent systems.
The standard four-year course in engineering or its equivalent, as offered in institutions approved by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (formerly Engineers Council for Professional Development), is a general prerequisite for graduate study. Graduates in science and other fields of engineering whose programs have included sufficient courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, the humanities, and the social sciences may be accepted as graduate students, although they must take undergraduate basic engineering courses as required. For each graduate program, the GRE also is required except in extenuating circumstances. Refer to individual departmental sections for specific information.
Graduate programs and advanced research have been enhanced by private endowments totaling more than $15 million (principally due to the late Dr. Paul C. Stocker, a distinguished alumnus, and his wife, Beth K. Stocker). These endowments provide fellowships and associateships ranging from $12,000 to $18,000 plus tuition (excluding the general fee). Other teaching and research associateships also are available. For more information on these resources, contact the specific department.
