These sample 30-hour plans show how the MENG requirements fit together in each Program of Study Option area. They are examples only, not required plans. Course offerings vary by semester, so check the Master Class Schedule, and remember that every Program of Study must be approved by your Program Advisor, Dr. Daphne Knox.
Each plan is shown as a non-thesis plan with GE 8003 MENG Capstone. The Thesis version line under each plan shows which courses to replace with 6 hours of XX 9000 Research/Thesis. Courses marked with an asterisk (*) are outside engineering (limit: 12 hours).
