Additional Information
All candidates for a degree in the MS in Engineering Management graduate program must complete a comprehensive assessment that is distinct from program course requirements. A comprehensive assessment requires the student to synthesize and integrate knowledge acquired in coursework and other learning experiences and to apply theory and principles in a situation that approximates some aspect of professional practice or research in the discipline. It must be used as a means by which faculty judge whether the student has mastered the body of knowledge and can demonstrate proficiency in the required competencies. Students in the MS in Engineering Management graduate program will fulfill the comprehensive assessment requirement by successful completion and defense of the thesis.
