M.S. in Power and Energy Systems
Academic Advisor: Mengchu Zhou
Degree Requirements
Bridge Program
Students who have earned a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (B.S.E.T.) degree, or who lack an appropriate background may be admitted and be required to take selected courses in addition to the degree requirements in order to make up deficiencies. They must attain a grade of B or better in each course. At the discretion of the department, students who have taken courses equivalent to these may have their bridge programs reduced accordingly.
Master's Program
This master's program consists of 30 credits. As a requirement for graduation, students must achieve a 3.0 cumulative GPA in graduate-level courses, not including the master's thesis or project. The project grade must be B or better.
Master's Project/Master's Thesis
If a student chooses to do a Master’s Project, the student should take 9 courses plus ECE 700B Master's Project. If a student would like to do a Master’s Thesis, the student should first take 8 courses plus the 700B MS Project course, and receive a satisfactory (S) grade in 700B before taking 701B MS Thesis in the immediate following semester with the same advisor. The MS thesis topic should be continuation of the work done in 700B.
