Introduction

Graduate students in Engineering at Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology will demonstrate: enhanced professional and analytical skills through the development of an in-depth understanding of theoretical and practical concepts; excellent communications skill through written and oral presentations; creative thinking skills through mastery of topics required to solve complex engineering problems; and depth of knowledge required to pursue advanced work in a modern, ever-changing world through entrepreneurial experiences woven into their program. These attributes will be assessed during the required examination milestones. For a Master of Science (M.S.) degree, the required milestone is a written research report/thesis and corresponding oral defense presentation. The M.S. course only option can be assessed through a portfolio process by the housing program. Curriculum Overview The master’s degree in engineering requires a minimum of 30 credits beyond a bachelor’s degree. If students pursue an option in research, six of the total credits to the degree must be in thesis research. If students pursue the project option, three of the total credits for the degree must be devoted to carrying out a project, approved by a faculty advisor. The engineering M.S. also allows students to customize a program of study to meet professional goals. This program, which will also take into account the academic background of students, must be approved by a faculty advisor, the director of the school of engineering and the associate dean for graduate education at Parks College. The concentrations offered in the engineering master’s program are: Aerospace engineering Mechanical engineering Biomedical engineering Civil engineering Electrical and computer engineering Engineering physics Fieldwork and Research Opportunities The expert faculty of Parks College collaborate with graduate students in ground-breaking research in the following areas: Aircraft engine aerodynamics Cardiovascular and assist devices Energy, sustainability and environmental Engineering education Flight control systems Haptic and human-machine interfaces Human factors/physiology Innovation and entrepreneurship Medical robotics Orthopedic biomechanics Regenerative medicine Robotics and mechatronics Safety Sensors and systems Signal processing Space systems Structures and bridges Thermal-fluid sciences Tissue engineering Transportation Unmanned aerial systems Water resources and hydraulics Careers Graduates are prepared to enter the industry as an engineer in their chosen concentration or conduct research for private or government organizations. Graduates are also well positioned to enter a doctoral program in engineering and conduct independent research. Learning Outcomes Graduates will be able to apply knowledge of professional and analytical skills that show an in-depth understanding of theoretical and practical concepts. Graduates will be able to communicate clearly and creatively a mastery of topics required to solve complex engineering problems through written and oral presentations. Graduates will be able to conduct guided research that exhibits independent thought required to pursue advanced work addressing problems in broader contexts. (thesis and project option.) Graduates will be able to exhibit independent thought and ideas required to pursue advanced work addressing problems in broader contexts.
