ELECTENG 7900 Thesis & Capstone Preparation 1 Credit

Prepares student for either the Thesis or Capstone experience. Focus is placed on the skills necessary to undertake the Thesis or Capstone work. This includes writing a project proposal that is supported by scholarly literature, preparing a project timeline, budgeting for the proposed project, recognizing project stakeholders, and identifying specific deliverables from the project. Course culminates in a written Thesis/Capstone proposal for committee approval. This course is a pre-requisite for ENGRG 7990 and ENGRG 7970.
Components: Research
Cross Offering: CIVILENG 7900, INDSTENG 7900, MECHENG 7900
Prereqs/Coreqs: P: Full admittance as a degree-seeking graduate student; C: MECHENG 5000
Typically Offered: All

ELECTENG 7910 Thesis & Capstone Extension 1 Credit

Course is a 1-credit extension of a student's thesis research or capstone project design course. Cannot be taken until the maximum six credits of Thesis Research or Capstone Design Project have been completed. Will require approval of the Faculty Advisor and Program Coordinator before permission for this course will be granted and students allowed to register. Will not count toward degree requirements.
Components: Thesis Research

ELECTENG 7970 Capstone Design Project 3 Credits

Students will draw upon and synthesize knowledge and skills learned throughout the program by applying it to an industry-sponsored project. Capstone work (minimum 150 hours) will be completed in partnership with industry and academic mentor/supervisors. A substantive work project deliverable demonstrating summative application of coursework taken in the program will be expected. The project is expected to be completed in the student's last semesters in residence. Three credits can be taken in a single semester. Can be repeated but only a total of six credits can be applied to degree completion. (Contact advisor for prior approval and registration instructions)
