Of Science In Engineering Technology : |
 |
The Master of Science in
Engineering Technology (MSET) degree is designed to provide
graduate education to Engineering Technology baccalaureate
degree holders and to prepare them for performing more sophisticated
and independent tasks in a technical workplace. They have
been employed in such areas as manufacturing engineering,
production engineering, maintenance, marketing, quality control,
product testing, field engineering, design, technical supervision,
etc.

Program
Objective: |
- To provide faculty and students with an environment that is conducive to carrying out cutting-edge applied research and excellence in teaching.
- To produce graduate engineering technologists at the MS level who have the analytical, computational and communication skills to practice in the profession of engineering technology at an advanced level.
- To provide opportunities to the students at the MS level to develop their research and problem solving skills that would enable them to function competently in, and ultimately lead, a project team while working in a private or government institution.
- To instill in the graduate students a keen sense of professionalism with a commitment to the highest standards of ethical principles and pursuit of excellence in their careers.

Admission
Requirements: |
The MSET degree program is designed to provide a graduate level education opportunity to those who have earned a bachelor's degree in Engineering Technology or in a related discipline from any college or university of recognized standing. Admission to the MSET program requires admission to Wayne State University as a graduate student. A 3.0 HPA (B average) is required in the under-graduate or upper division (junior and senior year) coursework for admission. Applicants must provide at least two letters of recommendation and a preliminary proposal of their intended plan of study, which will include a general set of objectives, an outline of the types of courses to be taken, and identification of a Master's Project topic to be pursued. Applicants who do not meet the 3.0 HPA requirement but fall within the Graduate School's qualified admission span of 2.2-2.9 may be admitted on a conditional status. Immediately upon successful completion of two graduate level courses with a grade of B or better, these applicants must request, in writing, a change to regular status. If undergraduate courses are required as prerequisites to graduate-level work in any discipline or area, these must be included in the student's program in addition to graduate level courses. |

MSET
Degree Requirements: |
The MSET degree is offered under the following options:
- Plan B: A minimum of thirty-two (32) semester credits of graduate level (5000 and above) course work, including a four- to six-credit Master’s Project (ET7999)
- Plan C: A minimum of thirty-six (36) credits of graduate level (5000 and above) course work.
For either plan, students must complete the core requirements: ET7430, ET7450, and ET7850. A minimum grade of B is required in core courses, and no F grade in any course is acceptable. Of the required credits, 18 credits must be in Division of Engineering Technology courses. A maximum of 8 transfer credits may be allowed for graduate courses taken at other accredited institutions, if they are appropriate to the student's plan of study. Graduate courses completed at Wayne State as a nonmatriculated graduate student (up to 8 credits) may be transferred toward the degree if they are applicable to the program. The minimum completion period for the program is estimated to be three semesters. |

Plan of Study: |
A preliminary plan of study should accompany the application. It is intended to ensure that the University can meet the applicant's individual educational needs within the limits of the program. The MSET Program Coordinator will help potential students prepare the initial plan. Students are required to submit a finalized Plan of Work must include a statement of objectives, i.e., the educational aims of the student courses, both completed and remaining. The plan must include a Master's Project topic appropriate to the student's educational objectives.

|
Master's Project |
The Master's Project emphasizes integration and application of knowledge to performing sophisticated tasks in practical industrial problems. Students in the MSET program must take a minimum 4 credits of Master's Project, although a greater number of credits may be taken for a project of broader scope. However, no more than 6 credits of Project can be counted toward the degree. Prior approval must be obtained before registering for the project. Project research can be conducted at Wayne State or at industrial sites. Students are required to submit a formal written report of the Master's Project in an acceptable Master's Thesis format, and will be examined orally on its content. The student will also be examined in the chosen area of specialization and in general aspects of engineering technology.
