Mastery Demonstration (6 units)
Option 1
Students complete two 3-credit sections of ENGR698 – Thesis.
Option 2
Students complete two additional 3-credit courses from the Technical Core.
Students in the thesis option must complete 30 credits to graduate, including 24 credits
of coursework and two 3-credit sections of ENGR698. Students must be accepted by a
Fowler School of Engineering full-time faculty member as a research advisee to enroll
in the thesis option. The thesis advisor will supervise the student’s work, set deadlines,
and guide the student’s progress. If additional time is required to complete the thesis
beyond the 6 credits of ENGR698, students must register for one credit of ENGR697
for each semester the thesis remains outstanding. See continuous enrollment for additional information.
