A thesis and/or project is required for the Systems Engineering and Enterprise Systems degrees.  For the Engineering Management and Financial Engineering degrees a thesis is optional and may be substituted for up to six credit hours of course work. The thesis option is strongly recommended for full-time students receiving financial support in the form of research assistantships or those students planning to pursue doctoral studies.
