The academic year is divided into two fifteen week semesters, spring and fall, and a summer session. A representative list of courses includes those in mathematics, civil engineering, engineering mechanics, computer engineering, electrical engineering, physics, industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, metallurgy, nuclear engineering, and environmental pollution control. Please see the program office for a list of recommended courses and their tentative schedule. The resident graduate faculty consists of members who have teaching and research interests in the engineering field. These resident members are supplemented by scientists and engineers currently working in the industry who teach on a part time basis in order to enrich the students' learning experience.
Many resident faculty have industrial experience and are professionally licensed engineers.
There are a limited number of scholarships, fellowships, assistantships, and some part time work available to help support graduate students. For more information on these, contact the School of Science, Engineering and Technology and the office of the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies. In many cases employers have a tuition-reimbursement plan paying for partial or full tuition.
