The MSE faculty implement a curriculum that satisfies defined Undergraduate Program Objectives which have been jointly and cooperatively developed by a constituency group comprised of industrial representatives, successful alumni of the Department, MSE students, MSE faculty, and the College of Engineering.
Several courses are cross-listed with other academic departments.
With approval of the Department Head and the chairman of the Undergradaute Curriculum Commitee, it is possible to design a custom concentration to meet special needs of the student. The MSE Curriculum has been evolving over a period of several years, thus requring changes in the graduation requriements of each class. All ABET requirements in mathematics, physical science, engineering science, and engineering design are met or exceeded with required courses in the curriculum and not with electives. Courses in humanities and social sciences are selected by students within a framework which satisfies both the University Core Curriculum and the ABET minimum requirement for this area. The MSE faculty are particlarly concerned with the professional development of our students.
