M.S. Advising

M.S. students that choose the thesis option are expected to join a research group no later than the end of their first semester in the program. (TA/RA recipients are required to choose the thesis option.) Non-thesis students are also encouraged to find their research advisors before the end of their first year in the program. 

All M.S. students need to prepare a degree plan based on the department’s degree requirements and seek approval from the department and the college no later than the end of their second semester in the program.

Ph.D. Advising 

A student in the Ph.D. program will have an advisor from the Department of Mechanical and Energy Engineering.  A student's graduate program will be constructed with the advice and consent of the advisor. 

Ph.D. students must join a research group no later than the end of their first semester in the program, regardless of the source of funding. 

Ph.D. students must also prepare a degree plan and seek approval from the department and the college no later than the end of their second semester in the program.
