  • The M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering can be earned by either one of two plans:
    • Completion of a thesis (Plan I), which reports a creative investigation of a defined problem
    • Passing a comprehensive examination
  • For the M.S. degree, students must meet a minimum residency requirement of three quarters, one complete academic year, in the University of California.
  • At least two of these three quarters must be spent at UCR. Registration in at least 4 units of 100 or 200 level course work is necessary for each quarter of academic residence.
  • Students should enroll in 12 units each quarter unless the Graduate Advisor grants an exception.
  • The M.S. degree Plan I (Thesis) requires completion of a minimum of 36 units of upper-division and graduate-level approved course work and submission of an acceptable thesis.
  • At least 24 of these units must be in graduate courses (200-series courses), a minimum of sixteen of these being Mechanical Engineering graduate courses (ME 200 or higher, excluding ME 250, ME 290, ME 297, ME 298I, and ME 299).
  • No more than 8 units of course work may be satisfied with directed studies (ME 290) or individual internship (ME 298I). Students must defend the thesis.
