Unmanned Aerial Systems and prepare the graduate for research and development positions in industry and government, or for the teaching profession in engineering. They are distinguished by the incorporation of a research component. Students may select coursework and participate in research or design projects in the following areas: aerodynamics, aeroelasticity, biomedical engineering, design, computational mechanics, heat transfer dynamic systems and controls, fluid mechanics, materials, manufacturing processes, refrigeration, solid mechanics thermal and HVAC systems, unmanned aerial systems, and web handling systems. Students are encouraged to take courses in mathematics and science and in other fields of engineering which fit into their programs. Admission Requirements Admission to the Graduate College is required of all students pursuing the MS or PhD degree. Graduation from a mechanical or aerospace engineering curriculum accredited by ABET, with scholastic performance distinctly above average, qualifies the student for admission to the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering as a candidate for the MS and PhD degrees. Graduates from disciplines other than mechanical or aerospace engineering may be admitted if an evaluation of their transcripts by the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering indicates they are prepared to take graduate-level course work in mechanical or aerospace engineering, or can be expected to do so after a

reasonable amount of prerequisite work. Degree Requirements

All degree programs follow an approved plan of study designed to satisfy the individual goals of the student, while conforming to the general requirements of the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and the Graduate College. The Master of Science degree program with the thesis option requires 24 credit hours of approved graduate-level course work and a suitable research thesis of six credit hours. The non-thesis option requires 35 credit hours of which two must be for an acceptable, directed research activity that results in a written and oral report to the faculty. A new Master of Engineering degree program is being introduced in the 2018-2019 academic year. This degree has a potential option in Unmanned Aerial Systems. This is a non-thesis degree plan that will require 24 core credit hours and 9 hours of controlled technical electives. A capstone requirement must be satisfied in an MAE 5000- or 6000- graduate-level course. The Doctor of Philosophy degree requires a minimum of 60 credit hours beyond the master’s degree, including a dissertation for which no more than 30 credit hours may be awarded. Faculty Daniel E.
