Graduate Studies with an Emphasis in MET or CIMT
The College of Technology (COT) offers the
Master of Science degree with several different options available. The
degree offers a nonthesis directed project plan of study that concentrates
on professional development in engineering technology, industrial technology,
or industrial technology education. The Department of Mechanical Engineering
Technology (MET) and Computer Integrated Manufacturing Technology (CIMT)
participate in the COT graduate program by offering graduate courses, directed
graduate projects, and supporting graduate assistantships. All COT graduate
degrees are offered and administered through the Director of Graduate Studies.
Each graduate degree plan is unique to the individual
student and his/her background, experience, and degree objectives. Each
degree candidate will be appointed an advisor from the graduate faculty
to assist with program planning. Advisors are assigned based on a review
of the candidate's application materials. Candidate requests for a specific
advisor are accepted but not guaranteed. Once a candidate is admitted to
the graduate program, the advisor becomes his/her most important contact
person.
The master of science plan of study has a minimum requirement
of 30 semester hours of course work and 3 semester hours of directed project
(TECH 598). Each candidate's plan of study will ultimately be directed
by the advisory committee.
A limited number of graduate research and teaching assistantships
are available in the MET Department and CIMT. Additional appointments are
available within the COT and other schools of the University. Most graduate
appointments will ordinarily be for no more than one-half time.
