Master of Science in Energy Engineering (MS Egye)

  • Thesis Option
  • Non-thesis Option

In the Thesis Option, students are required to complete at least 26 units of formal graduate courses, to successfully defend Master’s thesis (6 Units), and to produce a pre-print paper.
• In the Non-Thesis Option, the students are required to complete at least 38 units of formal graduate courses (apply for Candidacy for graduation in NGSE) and to pass a comprehensive examination.
• In both options, the student should maintain a cumulative weighted average grade (CWAG) of ‘2.00’ or better at the end of each academic year.

  • IE 242 Operations Research II
  • ME 224 Design of Fluid Machinery and Systems
  • ME 286 Combustion
  • ME 287 Fuels and Thermal Power

Electives may also be taken from graduate courses offered by the National Center of Public Administration and Governance, Technology Management Center, School of Economics, College of Science, and School of Urban and Regional Planning, upon approval by the program adviser and subject to the consent of the instructor or the department offering the course.

5. It is recommended that EgyE 296 Seminar is taken before enrolling in EgyE 300.

6. EgyE 300 may be taken as single 6 unit course or as two 3 unit courses. The prerequisite of the 6 unit course is a successful thesis proposal. If will be taken as two 3 unit courses, the prerequisite of the first 3 units is endorsement of thesis adviser. A grade of PASS will be given upon successful presentation of the proposal. The prerequisite of the second 3 units is a grade of PASS in the first 3 units. You cannot take the remaining units if you still have INC or no grade. You must obtain a “Pass” rating for your final defense in order for you to PASS the last remaining units.
