Five Year Accelerated Combined BSCpE/ MSCpE Degree Program
Students who
have completed a minimum of 90 hours towards their Bachelors of Science
degree in Computer Engineering and have earned at least a 3.3 GPA on both
overall and upper division courses may, upon recommendation from three ECE
faculty members, apply to the department to enroll in the combined BS/MS
program. Students enrolled in the program may count up to six hours of ECE
graduate courses as credits for both the BS and MS degrees. The BS/MS
combined program has been designed to be a continuous program. Students in
this program will apply for graduation with the BS and MS at the same time
once all requirements for both degrees are met. Students will receive a BS
degree and a MS degree on the same date. The student’s advisor will insure
that appropriate forms are completed and that students do not apply for BS
degree graduation until both BS and MS requirements are finished. Upon the
completion of BS degree requirement, students may “walk for graduation” with
their colleagues without receiving their diploma and/or request a department
certificate. Students may also elect to permanently leave the combined
program at any time and earn only the BS degree. Once the BS degree is
granted, students will have the same access requirements to regular graduate
programs as any other student. However, the combined MS degree would not be
available to those who elect to leave the combined program.
Admission into the
combined program does not automatically qualify the students for admission
into the MS degree program. To enroll in the MS degree program, the students
must apply (in their senior year) to the graduate school and meet all
graduate admission requirements.
For each of the
graduate courses counted as credits for both BS and MS degree, a minimum
grade of B is required. Students enrolled in the program may count up to six
credit hours of CpE graduate courses toward the elective engineering BSCpE
requirements as well as toward the MSCpE degree. Only graduate courses with
formal lectures can be counted for both degrees. The students are
responsible for confirming the eligibility of each course with the
undergraduate advisor.
Students
interested in the program can consult with the undergraduate advisor on
their eligibility to the program. The students should also meet the graduate
coordinator to learn about the graduate program and available courses before
completing the application form and submitting it to the undergraduate
advisor. Applicants will be notified by the department on the decision of
their applications.

Rationale: The curriculum is updated by providing an
opportunity for interested students to enroll in an accelerated Bachelors of

Master of Science in
Mechanical Engineering
Admission Requirements
The Department of Mechanical and
Materials Engineering offers both thesis and non-thesis options for the
Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering. A student seeking the Master’s
degree with or without thesis is required to pass a comprehensive oral or
written examination.
All work counted for the Master’s degree must
be completed during the six years immediately following the date of
admission.
The program provides a broad education,
covering more than one field, followed by in-depth studies in areas of
interest.

Graduate Certificate in Mechanical
Engineering
The Graduate Certificate in Mechanical Engineering is open to students
and engineers who hold a B.S. degree in engineering or a closely-related
field of study from an accredited program. The objective of this certificate
is to provide a vehicle for the career enhancement of practicing engineers
and serve the needs of recent B.S. graduates and graduate students in other
programs. The program consists of two concentration areas; Design, Mechanics
and Robotics area, and Thermo-Fluids area, reflecting the diverse nature of
mechanical engineering.
Admission Requirements
The
applicants for the Graduate Certificate in Mechanical Engineering must have
a B.S. degree in engineering or a closely-related field from an accredited
program, and have a GPA of at least 3.0 in the last two years of
undergraduate studies, or a GPA of at least 2.5 in conjunction with
significant related work experience.
Course Requirements
A
total of 18 credit hours (6 three-credit courses) must be completed with a
GPA of 3.0 or better to receive the Graduate Certificate in Mechanical
Engineering. Two courses (six credits) are core courses and must be taken by
all students. The remaining twelve credits may be selected from one of two
concentration areas.
Core Courses (6
credits):
EGM 5346
Computational Engineering Analysis (3 credits)
Select one of the
following two courses:
EGM 5354 Finite Element Method Applications in Mechanical Engineering (3
credits)
EGM 6422 Advanced
Analysis of Mechanical Systems (3 credits)
Elective Courses (12
credits):
Select four
courses either from the (1) Design, Mechanics and Robotics concentration
area, or the (2) Thermo-Fluids area:
(1) Design, Mechanics
and Robotics Area:
EML 5385
Identification Techniques of Mechanical Systems (3 credits)
EML 5505 Smart Machine Design and Development (3 credits)
EML 5530 Intermediate CAD/CAE (3 credits)
EGM 5615 Synthesis of Engineering Mechanics (3 credits)
EML 5808 Control Technology for Robotic Systems (3 credits)
EML 6805 Advanced Design of Robots (3 credits)
(2) Thermo-Fluids Area:
EML 5103
Intermediate Thermodynamics (3 credits)
EML 5152 Intermediate Heat Transfer (3 credits)
EML 5606C Advanced Refrigeration & AC systems (3 credits)
EML 5709 Intermediate Fluid Mechanics (3 credits)
EML 5725 Computational Fluid Dynamics (3 credits)
|
Rationale: The objective of the Graduate Certificate in Mechanical
Engineering is to provide a vehicle for the career enhancement of engineers
working in South Florida. The program is tailored for engineers who already have
a B.S. degree in engineering or a closely-related filed and have a desire to
gain additional knowledge and professional expertise without committing
themselves to a graduate program such as an M.S. or Ph.D. degree. Through this
certificate program, the participants will have an opportunity to get exposure
to higher-level knowledge of mechanical engineering for the benefit of their
careers. Additionally, because of the program’s short time frame and
flexibility, the program will have an appeal to some students who are in other
graduate programs. Through the catalog change, this certificate program is being
included in the Graduate Catalog.

Admission Requirements
Applicants to the Master of Public Administration (MPA) program must:
Have earned a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution and
Earn a GPA of 3.0 or better in all upper division course work and
Obtain a letter of recommendation from a faculty member at their
undergraduate institution or from a professional
and
Demonstrate graduate level writing competency by
submitting an essay between 3 and 5 pages in length addressing personal and
career goals.
An applicant who feels that the earned GPA is not
indicative of his or her ability to be successful in a graduate degree
program may also submit scores on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) which will
be taken into consideration by the admissions committee in its evaluation of
the application |

Exceptions to the
graduate admissions requirement
The MPA program offers
certificate programs. In accordance with University policy, students with a
bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution and who have an
undergraduate GPA of 2.75 or greater can be admitted to a public
administration graduate certificate program, subject to the approval of the
MPA program coordinator. Students applying for MPA certificate programs
must also obtain a letter of recommendation from a faculty member at their
undergraduate institution or from a professional and demonstrate
graduate level writing competency by submitting an essay between 3 and 5
pages in length addressing personal and career goals. Students admitted to
a certificate program who have completed 12 Graduate Certificate credits
with a 3.25 or better GPA may be admitted to the MPA program without taking
the GRE, subject to the approval of the MPA program coordinator. The full
15 credits obtained in a MPA Graduate Certificate Program may be used to
satisfy the requirements of the MPA degree provided the student is admitted
to the MPA program prior to the completion of the final six Graduate
Certificate credit hours required to obtain the certificate. |
