5. ME MS Degree – GE ACE Program Credit Hour Requirements MS (semesters): 30 semester credit hours –ACE courses count as 10 semester credits (3 math, 6 ME and 1 Research and/or thesis) –2 semester credits of project/mini-thesis –18 classroom semester credits at UC (minimum 12 ME + 3 Math) Final oral exam Semesters begin in September, 2012.

6. ME MS Degree – GE ACE Program Have your schedule approved by your assigned advisor. Preliminary approval will be available from faculty from the graduate studies committee. Have a Program of Study form approved by your advisor by the end of autumn. MECH/EGFD course substitutions: Many courses in AEEM, MTEN, and other CEAS programs may be approved by your advisor on a case-by-case basis. Math substitution: Some MECH, EGFD, and other CEAS courses may substitute for math credit on an advisor-approval basis. Courses generally include most control, signal processing, computational design and numerical analysis courses. Normal course load: GE-ACE students entering in 12A will be on campus for one semester (plus one course via distance learning or part-time) to meet minimum degree requirements. Consult with your management and GE Technical Education regarding your expected course load while on campus.

7. ME MS Degree (continued) The ME MS non-thesis degree allows for a two (2) semester credit project, also known as a “mini-thesis” to GE students. Your GE supervisor and/or GE Technical Education will advise you of what limitations may be in effect regarding your choice of topic. Contact your UC advisor and GE Technical Education regarding additional details related to the mini-thesis process.
