Comprehensive Exam
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. For students completing the Non-thesis Option, the comprehensive exam will be administered by the student’s advisor.
International Concentration
For the International concentration, the student will have preliminary knowledge of a foreign language. Students will complete three credit hours for language instruction and six credit hours for professional experience in an internship program in a foreign country. The internship program must be approved by the College of Engineering and Computing prior to the student’s departure to the foreign site.
