In aerospace engineering, two MS options are offered:Option I (Thesis)

The student must pass a final comprehensive examination. For the thesis option, the examination is based primarily on the student?s thesis work but may include questions on any courses counted toward the degree. The student must schedule the exam through the MABE office.

Option II (Non-Thesis)

Option II does not require a thesis and provides graduate students, including co-op and other off-campus students, the opportunity to focus their programs in special areas through extended course work.

The student must pass a final comprehensive examination. For the non-thesis option, the comprehensive examination is made up of a written examination over all course work counted for the degree as well as a project report that includes written and oral components.
