MECHANICAL & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING

All Mechanical & Environmental Engineering students pursuing an emphasis in CSE must complete the following:

• Numerical Methods: Mechanical and Environmental Engineering 210A-B-C-D (students must take at least three).
• Parallel Computing: Computer Science 240A-B (students must take at least one).
• Applied Mathematics: Students must take either the Math 214A-B or Math 215A-B sequence (run concurrently with Math119A-B and Math124A-B respectively), or the Mechanical and Environmental Engineering 244A-B sequence.
• Credit will not be given for more than one of these sequences. Advanced courses may be substituted, with approval, as follows: Math 243 instead of Math 214, and Math 246 instead of Math 215.

The specific requirements for the M.S. in Mechanical Engineering (thesis option only) with the CSE emphasis are as follows:

• The completion of the above requirements for an M.S. in mechanical engineering.
• A masters' thesis in CSE.
• The thesis must be written under the supervision of a CSE ladder faculty member. The thesis committee must include a minimum of three permanent ladder faculty members, at least two from Mechanical and Environmental Engineering and one from CSE (may be CSE faculty member from another department).

Students pursuing a Ph.D. with an emphasis in CSE must:

• Complete the above requirements for a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering.
• Write and defend a dissertation in CSE.
• The student's dissertation must be written under the supervision of a Mechanical and Environmental Engineering CSE ladder faculty member. The doctoral examination committee must include at least one CSE ladder faculty member and at least one ladder faculty member from another department.
