Course Requirements
Courses can be taken completely online or as a combination of online and on-campus offerings. Elective engineering courses are primarily from systems engineering, an area of interest to most engineers responsible for productivity enhancements. Other courses in cyber security and electrical power are available on-campus to enhance these elective offerings; online offering will be available soon. All students must complete 21 cr hr based on the engineering core, business core, and engineering electives as described below. Students completing a course work only degree will take an additional 9 cr hr of courses from the three categories.
ENGINEERING CORE (6 - 9 Cr. Hr.)
Consists of 2 or 3 courses that prepare you to use engineering analysis methods to solve practical problems in industry. The variety of electives offered allow the student to customize their degree to fit their needs.
BUSINESS CORE (3 - 12 Cr. Hr.)
Up to 4 courses designed to acquaint engineers, scientists and/or technologists with financial, managerial and legal/social issues that can help engineers succeed in today’s marketplace.
ELECTIVES (12 - 21 Cr. Hr.)
Elective courses can be selected from the area of the student’s concentration. Any 5000/6000 level course in Engineering (GNEN), Bioengineering (BIOE), Chemical Engineering (CHEE), Civil and Environmental Engineering (CIVE), Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), or Mechanical, Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (MIME) may be selected as an elective. Regularly offered online electives are listed in the table below.
WORK-RELATED PROJECT (6 Cr. Hr.)
In lieu of 6-credit-hour of elective core course participants may elect to complete a 6-credit-hour work-related project will be accomplished in coordination with the student’s employer, utilizing skills learned in this program.
The work-related project should culminate in a deliverable, analytical formulation, simulation, or similar outcome. The student should work with an academic adviser from the College of Engineering. The adviser can be selected by the student, or the student can request assistance from the directors of the program to find an adviser.
Employer counsel or participation in the project is recommended. At the conclusion of the project, a written document should be prepared, with a page limit to be determined by the adviser and student. The document should contain a bibliography that uses a standard citation format agreed upon by the adviser and student. The document will be written using the available Online Template for Projects.
