CSE Option in Materials Science and Engineering
CSE Option in Materials Science and Engineering
The Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MatSE) offers CSE Options in both the M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs. Students electing the CSE Option for either degree program are expected to satisfy all regular requirements for graduate study in MatSE. A student will normally be able to satisfy the requirements for the CSE Option by taking elective courses within the MatSE graduate programs.
M.S. Program
For the M.S. in MatSE with the CSE Option, the following additional requirements must be satisfied: one course must be taken from each of the three areas in the list of approved CSE Option courses. For thesis students, credit for MSE 599 can be used for the third area. The M.S. thesis, if any, must have a significant computational component.
Ph.D. Program
For the Ph.D. in MatSE with the CSE Option, the following additional requirements must be satisfied: one course must be taken from each of the first two areas in the list of approved CSE Option courses, two courses must be taken from the third area, and one additional course must be taken from the list of CSE courses. The Ph.D. thesis must have a significant computational component, and the thesis committee must include at least one CSE-affiliated faculty member from a department other than MatSE.
