On a limited basis, the EWRE Program accepts
non-engineers with exceptional grade point averages, references,
and/or professional experience as applicants for the M.S. degree
program and subsequently for the Ph.D. degree program. In addition
to the normal requirements for the M.S. degree explained above,
such students must take (or have taken elsewhere) several undergraduate
level background courses, as detailed below. Depending on the number
of undergraduate courses required, an applicant may be asked to
enroll as an undergraduate while completing these background courses;
admission to the Graduate School is then based in part on the performance
in these courses. At all times, the student is required to obtain
grades meeting normal Graduate School requirements. A non-engineer
should expect to devote a longer time to the M.S. degree program
than a graduate student with an engineering degree.
Because of the intense competition for financial
assistance, non-engineering students rarely receive financial aid
during the period they are primarily taking these undergraduate
makeup courses. However, they often receive financial assistance
during the latter part of their programs.
Required Courses:
The courses (or their equivalents) necessary for a student's
background are listed below.
- CH 301 & 302 - Chemistry (6 hours)
- CE 311K or 311S- (3 hours): Computer Methods
or Elem. Statistics
- CE 319F - Fluid Mechanics (3 hours)
- EM 306 - Statics (3 hours)
- EM 319 - Mechanics of Solids (3 hours)
- M 408C&D - Mathematics (8 hours of
calculus)

math, preferably differential equations)
- ME 320 or EE 331 - Engineering Science
Elective (3 hours): Thermodynamics or Electrical Circuits
- PHY 303K&L - Physics (6 hours)
- PHY 103M&N - Physics Laboratory (2
hours)
Electives:
Four elective courses from the list
below (or their equivalents) are required. Often, specific
courses are recommended after an evaluation of the student's prior
educational program and educational objectives for the graduate
program. Each elective is a three-hour course.
