Entrance Exam
All students in the Materials Science & Engineering Interdisciplinary Graduate Program are admitted provisionally and must pass the MSE Entrance Exam with an 80% or better within the first year of enrollment. The exam is designed to help ensure that all MSE graduate students have an appropriate level of knowledge specific to materials science & engineering. Each student will receive more information about the exam prior to the first semester of enrollment.
Project
The MSE 599 Project is the culminating activity for the Master of Engineering degree. Once you are prepared to enroll in MSE 599, typically in your final Spring semester, please contact the instructor to request a permission number.
The project is a self directed project where you will work with the course instructor to apply the materials science & engineering knowledge you have gained in your courses to a theoretical problem. In the course, you will be expected to communicate about your project, and materials science & engineering in both written and oral formats.
