The College of Engineering offers three types of Master's curriculum: thesis, project or coursework-only. The Master of Science (M.S.) degree is completed either with a thesis or a project. The Master of Engineering (M.E.) and Master of Information Technology (M-IT) degrees are completed without the preparation of a formal research thesis or project and is based only on coursework. Students interested in research and a career in R&D may prefer the M.S. thesis option, while students who select the M.E. or M-IT degrees may be more interested in acquiring knowledge and applying it in their professional workplace.<br>The M.S. thesis can be a reformatted version of this paper. Exceptions may be made on a case by case basis by the department head.
