Requirements for Advanced Degrees
in Engineering

The masters’ degree in engineering may be
obtained by satisfying the following require-
ments:

1. Twenty-four semester hours in graduate
courses with an average standing of 3.0 or
better.

2. An acceptable thesis.

(With departmental approval, a student may
substitute six credits of graduate level course
work, and other departmental requirements,
for the thesis.)

3. Two-thirds of the work must be in the major
subject.

4. There is no language requirement for these
degrees.

The candidate must hold the BS. degree in
engineering or the equivalent. A thorough work-
ing knowledge of chemistry, physics, and mathe-
matics is necessary. The degrees offered are
Master of Science in Agricultural Engineering,
Master of Science in Chemical Engineering, Mas-
ter of Science in Civil Engineering, Master of
Science in Electrical Engineering, Master of Sci-
ence in Engineering Mechanics, Master of Sci—
ence (major in Engineering Mechanics), Master
of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Master
of Science in Metallurgical Engineering, Master
of Science in Nuclear Engineering.

Requirements for the Ph.D. Degree

Doctoral work is offered in Agricultural Engi-
neering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineer—
'ng, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Me—
Chanics, Mechanical Engineering, and Metal-
lurSlical Engineering and Materials Science. See
the general requirements for the degree of Doc-
tor of Philosophy.

One modern foreign language is required for
the Ph.D. degree in Engineering.

AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING

Graduate Faculty: Professors Blaine Parker

(Chairman and Director of Graduate Studies), lra
Ross, John Walker. Associate Professors Billy
Barfield, Joe Bunn, Wiley Henson, Edward Smith,
Gerald White. Assistant Professor C. T. Haan.

The Agricultural Engineering Department of-
fers programs leading to the MS. in Agricultural
Engineering and the Ph.D. degree.

The agricultural engineering graduate pro—
gram has as its objectives the development of:

l. The ability to plan and conduct research and
design involving the application of the engi-
neering science to biological and agricultural
systems.

2. The understanding of the mathematical,
physical, and biological sciences to permit
the reading and understanding of the present
and future literature in these and related
fields.

3. The skills required to use precision instru-
ments, techniques and computers useful in
research and design.

4. The ability to make sound engineering and
management decisions.

5. The ability to teach college level courses in
agricultural engineering, particularly at the
doctoral level.

In the attainment of the above objectives the
graduate student will combine courses in agri-
cultural engineering, the physical sciences, other
engineering fields, and the biological sciences in
developing his program of study. The advanced
degrees, however, are primarily research degrees
awarded for significant creative research ac—
complishment, not for the completion of a speci-
fied number of courses. Therefore, the program
concentrates on a strong thesis or dissertation
problem done under the supervision of the grad-
uate faculty of the department. Strong course
support is essential if the thesis or dissertation
problem is to be properly undertaken and com-
pleted.

The design-oriented non-thesis option is avail-
able.
