Presentation Transcript

  1. Program Background • Part-Time Master of Science in Engineering Program (PT MSE) was created in 1999 within the scope of the existing MSE degree • The Project option of MSE degree is used as the template for the PT MSE • The program started with 14 students • It was administered by the office of the associate dean for graduate studies

  2. Program Purpose • Response to the needs of corporations for a practical MS degree that is specifically designed for technical professionals • Cross-disciplinary program that combines study in business management and engineering • Builds management skills while sharpening students’ technical capabilities • Alternative to traditional MBA or research-oriented technical MS degree

  3. Current Status • Still based on the College’s MSE program • It’s curricular support is provided by all departments of the College of Engineering • Engineering Technology Department administers the program for the College • As is the case for all graduate programs, oversight by the associate dean for graduate studies

  4. Admission Requirements • Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree in engineering, engineering technology, or in one of the mathematical, physical, or biological sciences • Students entering the program will be required to have at least: • Calculus, through Ordinary Differential Equations (3 semesters) • Physics (2 semesters) • Chemistry and/or Engineering Materials (1 semester) • and any three courses out of six : • Statics, Dynamics, Electronics, Circuits, Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics • Applicants must be employed or have full-time work experience in private industry, government, or non-profit organizations • Domestic students whose undergraduate GPA is below 2.7 need to register and take the GRE.

  5. Student Academic Background • 65% are UT graduates • 12 other universities are represented • 57% are from Engineering programs • 36% are from Engineering Technology programs • 7% from related programs • BS degrees awarded from as far back as 1967

  6. Program Structure • 30 semester hours required: • 9 semester hours Engineering Core Courses • 9 semester hours Business Core Courses • 6 semester hours Engineering Electives in the area of student’s concentration • 6 semester hours work-related project • Some courses are available online • Industry sponsorship for projects

  7. Curriculum • Engineering Core Courses • CHEE 6700 Management of Projects and Technological Innovation • MIME 5500 Applications of Engineering Analysis • ENGT 6980 Applied Probability and Statistics in Engineering and Management Science • Business Core Courses • ACCT 5000 Introduction to Financial and Managerial Accounting • BLAW 6100 Business, Government and Society • OPMT 5520 Analysis of Manufacturing and Service Systems

  8. Engineering Electives Sequence • The Engineering Electives Sequence includes 2 courses in a specific area of engineering such as • Materials • CHEE 6100 Engineering Material Science and Applications • CHEE 5800 Polymer Science and Engineering • CHEE 5850 Properties of Polymer Systems

  9. Engineering Electives Sequence • Environmental Engineering • CHEE 6980 Green Engineering • CHEE 5160 Industrial Waste Treatment • CIVE 6630 Dispersion and Risk Modeling • CIVE 5630 Indoor Air Quality • CIVE 5650 Industrial Ventilation

  10. Engineering Electives Sequence • Computer Aided Engineering • ENGT 6980 Practical FEA (ANSYS) • ENGT 6980 Computerized Heat Transfer (ANSYS) • ENGT 6980 Computations of Thermal and Fluid Systems (Star CD) • ENGT 6980 Computerized Machine Design • ENGT 6980 Principles and Applications of CAD/CAM (Pro/Engineer)

  11. Engineering Electives Sequence • Electrical Engineering/Computer Science • ENGT 6980 Object Oriented Analysis and Design • ENGT 6980 Unified Modeling Language • ENGT 6980 Advanced Programmable Logic Devices • ENGT 6980 Testing Digital Circuits

  12. Engineering Electives Sequence • If students interest lies beyond mentioned areas of engineering the specific sequence may be created • Graduate offerings in all departments of the College of Engineering are eligible for selection as engineering elective courses

  13. Project Requirement • The six-credit work-related project is accomplished in coordination with the student's employer and utilizes the skills gained in the program. • Students not currently employed can undertake an industry-sponsored project. • The faculty supervisor can be from any department in the College of Engineering.

  14. Recent Projects • Reducing Variation in a Structural Support Assembly” , M. Faught, Whirlpool Corp, Advisor Dr. Olson, Summer 2002 • “Laundry Technologies and Innovations” , S. Ahmed, Whirlpool Corp, Advisor Dr. Abraham, Summer 2002 • “Error Proofing Systems for the Fascia X Program” , K. Wickenheiser, Norplas Industries, Advisor Dr. Dismukes, Spring 2004

  15. Benefits to the College • Tuition-paying students (companies usually pay tuition) • Increased enrollment of domestic students for the college • 98% of current students are domestic • Allows other departments to focus on research-oriented students

  16. Benefits to the Community • This is an important program for the College, particularly in light of the President's mission to be engaged with the community • Increase the technically educated workforce for local corporations and businesses
