Admission Requirements
Admission to the M.S. degree program is granted on the basis of undergraduate preparation and performance, GRE scores, and letters of recommendation documenting the recent technical proficiency of the applicant. A grade-point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale (or equivalent), and a GRE Quantitative Reasoning score of 700 or higher (155 or higher on the new scale) are normally expected.
Admission to this M.S. degree program requires a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, or an acceptable field of Science.
If a student’s background is not particularly strong in energy-relevant undergraduate subjects, such as thermodynamics , he/she may be required to take undergraduate courses (not counted towards the M.S. degree) as specified in the letter of admission.
General Requirements
A student seeking an MS Degree in Energy Systems Engineering (MSESE) must complete ten (10) 3-credit courses, no more than four (4) of which can be at the 500-level, the remainder must be at the 600-level or higher.
Required Core Courses
The following courses are required in this core:
Energy Systems Tracks
Select any 3 courses (9 credits) from one of the 3 tracks listed below:
Program Customization
Select 2 course (6 credits) from any of the MSESE Tracks listed above, (a track-related 3-credit Independent Study or Special Projcets course may be substituted for 1 of the 2 courses). In addition, select 1 course (3 credits) from Architecture, Business/Management, Social Sciences (Economics, Public Policy…), or Engineering & Computer Science (ECS) Technical Elective (subject to the 500-level 4-course limit).
Additional Requirements
- MAE 995 - Graduate Seminar 0 credit(s)
- MAE 994 - Capstone Project 0 credit(s) - The student will review technical papers or reports in the literature related to the student’s field of interest. The student will prepare an oral presentation summarizing the technical content of the documents reviewed, and present his/her findings before a faculty committee. A hard copy of the presentation, signed by the student advisor, must be submitted to the MAE Graduate Office before the oral presentation.
Suggested Sequence of Courses
Fall, Year-1:(9 credits):
Spring, Year-1:(9 credits)
Summer, Year-1 (Optional):
A student may take a Management/Business course, Social Sciences course, or an ECS Technical Elective, if offered in the summer (possible 3 credits).
Year-2:
Remaining Electives and 0-credit MAE 994 -Capstone Project on an energy-focused topic, plus MAE 995 - Graduate Seminar (0 credits).
Total Credits Required: 30 + a 0-credit capstone project on energy related topic.
Degree Awarded:
