Independent Work & Thesis

Independent projects enable students to build on and transcend classroom learning while contributing real solutions to societal problems. Year-long senior independent projects may constitute a senior thesis, and students are strongly encouraged to consider this option. Such self-motivated work has frequently led to publications and design patents. All students are required to do at least one semester of independent work (view guide) .

In their independent work, students often collaborate closely with faculty members and their graduate students who study the same problem.  The program facilitates bringing together as many scientific and nonscientific elements as necessary to pursue a topic; consequently, students may draw on faculty advisors from any relevant engineering or science department.  This opportunity is often cited by students as the highlight of their four-year experience at Princeton.

A high number of independent work students collect nationally recognized awards and honors, including fellowships and scholarships such as Marshall Scholarships , Rhodes Scholarships , and Churchill Scholarships as well as winning competitions with their independent work.

The independent project provides the opportunity to address real-world issues beyond academia through the development of a solution or improvement to society. Furthermore, this opportunity encourages learning how to present ideas to the public. This is an essential element of a technical education and is central to taking concepts further than the academic laboratory and having them recognized as useful.

MS Thesis Guidelines

Students may choose to pursue a thesis as part of their MS degree program, but only with the consent of a faculty advisor willing to supervise the thesis work. 

Preparation of a thesis representing an independent research work is a pivotal phase of this MS degree program. It provides the student with an opportunity to work on an open-ended problem, developing a particular solution that is not pre-determined and involving synthesis of knowledge and intellectual creativity. The thesis may involve an investigation that is fundamental in nature, or may be applied, incorporating theory, experimental testing and/or analytical modeling, and/or creative design. Through the thesis, candidates are expected to give evidence of competence in research and a sound understanding of the area of specialization involved. Students are also strongly encouraged to present their research at scientific conferences and publish the results of their thesis research in a peer-reviewed journal.

Students receive a grade of Y (incomplete) in these courses as long as the thesis in progress. Eventual thesis grades replace the incomplete grades upon formal completion of the thesis. In order to receive a grade of Y for ME-0296/ENP-0296, students must submit a  thesis prospectus  that outlines the area of work, thesis goals, proposed approach and a review of relevant past work in the literature before the end of the first semester in which the student enrolls in ME-0296/ENP-0296, typically the third semester of full-time study. For an example of a recent MS thesis prospectus please reach out to [email protected]. 

The examining committee for MS candidates completing theses should be composed of three (3) members.

• Thesis advisor (committee chair)
• One technical expert outside of the student's department
• A third member of the committee, often another faculty member in the student's department

The committee chair is normally a full-time, tenure-track faculty member. One committee member must be from outside the student's department. Thesis normally counts as 9 credits towards the MS degree requirements. However, a student, with the approval of their thesis advisor, has the option to complete a 6-credit thesis by submitting a petition form to the Department. This petition must be signed by the student and the thesis advisor and will become part of the student's academic record. With a 6-credit thesis, a student must complete an extra graduate-level course (for a total of 8 courses) to fulfill the 30-credit requirement for graduation. This option is not typically available to those intending to pursue a Ph.D. degree. 

Thesis Completion

The MS thesis is completed upon:

• A successful oral defense (open to the community)
• Submission of an approved thesis to the Office of Graduate Studies

The student should consult the  Graduate Student Handbook  for specific dates and deadlines for this process in the graduation semester.

M.S. in Mechanical Engineering (MSME)

To be unconditionally admitted to the M.S. thesis or non-thesis program, an applicant should have:

• A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or in a related field, preferably from an accredited engineering program.
• A grade point average of at least 3.00 out of 4.00 on the last 60 semester credit hours attempted exclusive of grades received for activities such as seminars, physical education, industrial internships, etc. ( GPA Calculator )
• Starting Spring 2025, GRE is optional for all MSME applicants.
• A minimum score of 6.5 on the IELTS or 79 on the internet-based TOEFL examination for students whose native language is not English.
• Three letters of recommendation attesting to the student’s capacity to perform in the classroom and (for applicants to the thesis program) in a research capacity. A minimum of two letters should be from tenure-track faculty members who have observed the academic performance of the applicant, and one can come from an engineering industry supervisor.
• A statement of purpose that is consistent with the areas of instruction and (for applicants to the thesis program) the current research areas within the Department. The “Application for Financial Aid and Statement of Purpose” form available on the Application section of this website allows the applicant to specify areas of interest, and it lists issues to address in the statement of purpose.

Acceptance to the program is based on a competitive combination of academic background, GRE scores, and recommendation letters and Statement of Purpose. Domestic applicants who are not clearly competitive in all three areas may be admitted on a conditional basis at the discretion of the Director of Admissions. Nonimmigrant visa holders may not be admitted conditionally.

Program of Study for the M.S. Program with Thesis

The program requires completion of a minimum of 30 credit hours distributed as follows:

• Nine hours of thesis credits (the first three for MECE 6399, the remaining for MECE 7399).

Click here  for the up-to-date list of approved courses.

If a graduate course is dual-listed with an undergraduate 5000-level section, the student must enroll in the graduate section . Approval of any course that falls outside of the description given here must be requested by petition to the Director of Graduate Studies. Approval must be received prior to enrollment in the course.

The graduation requirements for this program are a successfully defended thesis and at least a 3.00 grade point average over all courses. The Director of Graduate Studies must approve the composition of the thesis examining committee prior to the defense date. The committee consists of at least three tenure-track faculty members, with one member from outside the Department.

Defense Guidelines

Program of Study for the M.S. Program without Thesis

The program requires successful completion of 30 hours of course work distributed as follows:

• Controls: MECE 6367 Control Systems Analysis and Design; MECE 6374: Nonlinear Control Systems.
• Mechanics: MECE 6377 Continuum Mechanics I; MECE 7397 Advanced Mechanics of Solids.
• Nine hours of elective courses from the MECE 6000-level or above, exclusive of graduate seminar (MECE 6111) and Graduate Project (MECE 6368).
• The remaining hours can be chosen from either MECE courses at 6000-level or above or a list of approved courses in the College of Engineering, the College of Natural Science and Mathematics, the Bauer College of Business, and the UH Law Center at 6000-level or above. If you choose non-MECE courses, no more than three hours from one academic unit (department or program) will be allowed. Click here  for the up-to-date list of approved courses. Three hours can be satisfied by completing the directed-study Graduate Project course, MECE 6368. A statement of the intent of the directed study must be approved by petition to the Graduate Director prior to registration in MECE 6368. A report describing the results of the project must be filed with, and archived by, the instructor at the end of the course.

If a graduate course is dual-listed with an undergraduate 5000-level section, the student must enroll in the graduate section. Approval of any course that falls outside of the description given here must be requested by petition to the Director of Graduate Studies. Approval must be received prior to enrollment in the course. Non-thesis students should not enroll in research or thesis courses (6x98, 6399, 7399).

The graduation requirements for this program are at least a 3.00 grade point average over all courses, and separately, at least a 3.00 grade point average on all MECE courses, including MECE 6384. In calculating the grade point average on MECE courses, if a student receives a grade “C+” or lower on an MECE course, and repeats the course (or takes an equivalent course approved by the Director of Graduate Study) with a better grade, the lower grade is dropped in the calculation.

Thesis students should be advised of the following:

M.S. Thesis Option.  The Mechanical Engineering, MS thesis option requires the completion of 9 hours of thesis credits (MECE 6399, MECE 7399, and MECE 7399) Only one MECE 7399 course can be taken per semester, so please plan accordingly.  An S or U grade must be assigned to every thesis course until the thesis is successfully completed (defended and submitted).  A final letter grade via grade change request will be assigned to the required number of thesis hours once the student has successfully completed the thesis (defended and submitted).  In case a student registers for thesis hours over and above the nine hours that are required, these additional hours will remain as S or U on the student’s transcript.  This is a Graduate School directive and aimed at avoiding grade inflation.

Mechanical Engineering

Thesis or Project?

ME students have the option to complete a total of six (6) units of graduate Thesis, Plan A (ME 299, 3 units each semester) or graduate Project, Plan B (ME 295A and ME 295B) towards their MSME degree. Students are expected to approach a full-time faculty (preferably related to their area of specialization) to solicit thesis or project ideas or discuss their own ideas (personal interest or work related). When the idea is approved as a possible thesis or project topic, the student is expected to prepare a comprehensive proposal.

Project Option (ME 295A and ME295B)

The project option typically involves a topic less theoretical and more directly applied in nature than that of the thesis option. Projects frequently involve design or improvement of existing hardware used in an experiment and/or software development. Completion of a project demonstrates the ability to apply theoretical concepts to a real-world problem. The project option may also be used for a research topic, leading to a conference presentation or published journal article. Schedules & Deadlines

Thesis Option (ME 299)

Pursuing the thesis option requires preparation of a formal thesis, which becomes a published document. The thesis option is well suited for analytical, numerical, and experimental research topics of a more original and fundamental nature. Completion of a thesis may also aid in successfully applying for admission to Ph.D. programs. Schedules & Deadlines

Specific format requirements must be followed for the thesis option.

In obtaining thesis approval from GAPE, the student must defend his/her thesis. This is accomplished by a successful oral presentation of the thesis work to the student’s official committee. The oral defense is scheduled by the department. Make sure that all the committee members have a copy of the final report in advance of the oral presentation. Note that a final copy of the thesis must be given to the advisor (the original must be turned into GAPE office) and the department (through the Graduate Coordinator). While not required, it is also customary to offer committee members copies as well.

See the GAPE web site for the Thesis Review deadlines .

See also the University Thesis Guidelines .

The final report for a project is generally like a thesis report. A final printed copy must be given to your committee chair, and if requested, to the committee members. Similar to the thesis option, the student is expected to make a formal oral presentation to his/her committee. A rough draft of the project report must also be provided to each committee member two weeks in advance of the presentation date. The final bound copies with approved signatures are due to the course instructor/coordinator and Committee Chair within one week after the semester ends.

Basic Requirements for Project and Thesis

Both, thesis and project are 6-unit courses: ME 295A/ME 295B and ME 299, respectively. These courses are designed to be completed in two separate semesters. The first semester project entails the design phase, followed by the design-verification phase during the second semester. The phases of the project require a final report and oral presentation.

Whether you select a thesis option or the project option, there are three basic requirements for the contents of a project: (a) The project should involve higher math and physics, (b) application of advanced mechanical engineering concepts, and (c) A comprehensive final report that satisfies the Culminating Experience requirement as stipulated by the GAPE.

The thesis is research-oriented work and requires completion of an original research on a mechanical engineering topic. The final report must satisfy the guidelines stipulated by the university, and must be submitted in a timely manner by the deadlines set by the university for review.

Aerospace Engineering Systems  

Mae faculty program lead - professor antonio sanchez.

The engineering systems employed in aeronautical and space applications are characterized by their high efficiency and reliability. They must be able to operate in adverse environments under varying ambient conditions and meet stringent weight and operational cost constraints. As a result, their design is a challenging task that requires a deep understanding of the complex underlying physics and chemical processes involved in their operation. In most cases, the design includes an important optimization component that requires the application of advanced quantitative techniques. The AES track is designed to respond to these needs by providing students with fundamental knowledge pertaining to the processes involved in aerospace systems, along with a set of advanced computational tools that are currently used in the aerospace industry.

Target Skill Sets and Learning Outcomes

Students are exposed to a rigorous curriculum covering fundamental aspects of aerospace engineering. Courses cover advanced concepts in quantitative methods, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, combustion and propulsion, and space engineering.

Materials & Robotic Design

Mae faculty program lead - professor shengqiang cai.

Robots are typically designed to be as rigid as possible, which simplifies the design and control of these systems. However, there is growing interest in the use of advanced materials in the design of sensors, actuators, and mechanisms for robotics that provide capabilities seen previously only in biological systems. This MS program focuses on the range of topics required to design and analyze this new kind of robotic system including the mechanical behavior of materials, the numerical simulation of deformation and stress fields in various structures, and the design and fabrication of novel robotic devices. The courses of the program prepare students to understand the mechanical properties of materials and key design principles for robotics. 

Successful completion of this MS degree will enable students from various backgrounds to quantitatively characterize and analyze the mechanical performance of structures and design/fabricate robots for real applications. From the courses, students will learn the fundamental theories to model the deformation and motion of materials and robotic structures.

Energy & Climate

Mae faculty program lead - professor carlos coimbra.

Students in the Energy & Climate track are exposed to a rigorous curriculum on the science and technology of abrupt climate change mitigation. This MS program focuses on thermal processes that drive climate change and the energy technologies that can help alleviate the radiative forcing on the atmosphere caused by greenhouse gases, clouds, and aerosols. Course selection is designed to prepare students to understand and quantify radiative forcing processes and their effect on large-scale renewable power plants. The program is not specifically focused on Global Circulation Models (GCMs), but rather on the quantitative analysis required to understand the thermal forcing mechanisms that drive radiative imbalances at planetary and local scales.

Successful completion of this MS degree will enable students from various backgrounds to quantitatively analyze the potential for scalable renewable energy solutions in disrupting energy industry carbon emissions. Students will acquire theoretical and computational skills to evaluate the role of different greenhouse gases, clouds, and aerosols on climate forcing, and will develop a solid appreciation for the role that scalable renewable technologies need to play in the effort to decarbonize the atmosphere. Both engineers and atmospheric scientists will benefit from the coursework as it covers the fundamental principles underlying the complex thermal relationships between energy conversion and abrupt climate change, as well as the impact of large-scale renewable power generation on the local environment.

Computational Engineering & Science

Mae faculty program lead - professor oliver schmidt.

Computational Engineering & Science (CE&S) is an interdisciplinary program that uses mathematical modeling and advanced computing to solve complex physical problems arising in engineering. Next to theory and experimentation, the use of high-fidelity numerical simulations that leverage high-performance computing environments has become the third paradigm of scientific discovery. Used for computer-based optimization, the same numerical tools are drivers for technological progress in mechanical and aerospace engineering.

The Computational Engineering & Science specialization provides students with a strong foundation in the development of the application of numerical methods and tools for the computer-based solution of complex engineering problems. The core curriculum encompasses comprehensive training in computational fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, and model reduction. In a parallel sequence of courses, the students can specialize in either large-scale computing, controls, or applied mathematics.

Power & Energy Systems

Mae faculty program lead - p rofessor jan kleissl.

Students in the Energy Systems track are exposed to a rigorous curriculum on fundamentals and applications in the optimization of electric power systems. As the penetration of variable renewables (solar and wind) on the electric power grid has increased, economic and reliable integration into the power system has become the principal engineering challenge. Power systems are also increasingly shifting away from an overly conservative, insufficiently metered, and inflexible operation. Modern power systems instead reduce operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions through flexible distributed energy resources (energy storage, electric vehicles, and flexible loads), abundant metering, and easier market access. The field of optimization lies at the intersection of these thrusts.

Successful completion of this MS degree will enable students from various backgrounds to understand and optimize the operation of electric power systems. Students will develop skills in solar and wind resource characterization and modeling, power systems modeling, and optimization theory and applications to advance the field of electric power system planning and operation. Target employers are in the fields of renewables planning, energy systems consulting, and transmission system operation.

Controls & Mechatronics

Mae faculty program lead - professor jorge cortes.

The opportunities to apply control principles and methods are exploding. Computation, communication, and sensing are becoming ubiquitous, with accelerating advances in the fabrication of devices including embedded processors, sensors, storage, and communication hardware. The increasing complexity of technological systems demands inter- and cross-disciplinary research and development. The realized impact of control technology is matched by its anticipated future impact. Control is not only considered instrumental for evolutionary improvements in today's products, solutions, and systems; it is also considered a fundamental enabling technology for realizing future visions and ambitions in emerging areas such as biomedicine, renewable energy, and critical infrastructures. Based on the current level of MS enrollment in the courses that compose the C&M specialization, this is already a hugely successful specialization, and its formalization will provide students with more value in regard to the job market.

The MS degree in C&M will enable students to develop the skills necessary to deal with multi-faceted systems and applications.  Students will be exposed to a multidisciplinary curriculum where they will develop an appreciation for building reliable systems, designing algorithms, analyzing dynamics, and formulating qualitative and quantitative properties. The C&M track puts particular emphasis on applications to robotics, haptics, and learning, but students will benefit from acquiring critical analytical thinking, practical understanding, and systems perspective that is applicable to other disciplines in the development of other large-scale, safety-critical, and mission-critical systems.

Biomechanics & Biomedical Engineering

Mae faculty program lead - professor james friend.

Today we are witnessing rapid advancements in healthcare from understanding and using the mechanical behavior of biological entities across a tremendous range of scales, from molecules to organelles, cells, organs, and organisms. The multidisciplinary curriculum of B&BE, as a relatively new and exciting discipline, offers comprehensive training from the fundamental structure and function of biological systems to the applied design of medical devices to overcome unmet needs in healthcare. By virtue of the breadth of courses in B&BE from rigorous fundamentals to applied engineering, students can construct a program tailored to their career aspirations, whether it be in research or industry. With an emphasis on the mechanical engineering perspective of B&BE, mathematics, and physical analysis dominate training in fluid, continuum, cell, and molecular mechanics alongside training in biomaterials, computational methods, practical back-of-the-envelope design, immersion in the clinical environment alongside practitioners, and the handling of intellectual property and regulatory issues.

Completion of the B&BE MS degree will confer an ability to define and solve engineering problems in the creation of new medical technologies, and to have sufficient knowledge of what is known and unknown of the fundamental mechanisms underpinning biological systems to work towards creating new knowledge and exploiting current knowledge to benefit society. Direct interaction with clinical practitioners will provide the student with valuable experience in understanding and solving problems in healthcare. Students with training from other engineering disciplines particularly electrical, computer, and bioengineering will gain uniquely valuable multidisciplinary skills to lead or work in the burgeoning medical device industry. Those with training in allied fields of physics, chemistry, and biology will find themselves with the key knowledge needed to enter and lead research and development work in B&BE, with the MS degree serving as the gateway to this new discipline.

BIOM4951 Thesis A : It is intended that Thesis A cover the scoping, planning, and completing preparations for the project.

BIOM4952 Thesis B : The primary intention behind Thesis B is to ensure students stay on track with their projects and project work as they progress through the year.

BIOM4953 Thesis C : Thesis C continues the project work. The key deliverable is the Written Report, alongside a poster presentation.

Before commencing Thesis A

You must nominate 3 different supervisors to work with.

Please follow the below instructions in order to view the projects available and to find a supervisor.

The instructions to view the projects are as follows:

You must complete this process and have a project allocated BEFORE starting BIOM4951. If you are planning on doing a project with industry, this requires an industry supervisor and a supervisor from GSBmE. Please contact me  [email protected] .

• Go the Moodle course  Selection of Biomedical Thesis Project  
• Self-enrol as a student using the key Student50
• The projects are listed under Thesis Database
• Contact the supervisor directly if you have any questions
• When ready, follow the instructions on the Moodle page for nominating your three supervisors. Project selection opens midway through the previous term (e.g. for Thesis commencing in T2, selection opens in Week 6 of T1). Selection closes on the last day of exams of previous term.

Undergraduate students are required to complete at least 12 UOC of thesis courses. The table below shows the default Thesis course sequence for your stream and any additional options you may have. The following sections provide more information about each of these sequences.

STREAM	THESIS
	– You may also like take   as an elective. Alternatively, students may be permitted to take   instead of Research Thesis.
	We strongly encourage using 12 UOC of electives to also take  . This course will complement your group-based product design project with an individual research project. Research thesis (CEIC4951/2/3) Research thesis  consists of three courses worth 4 units of credit each –  CEIC4951  Research thesis A,  CEIC4952  Research Thesis B &  CEIC4953  Research Thesis C. Undergraduate students may commence Research Thesis once they have completed at least 126 UOC from a School of Chemical Engineering discipline stream and their 3rd year core. You  must  identify a supervisor and project prior to commencing CEIC4951. To find out more about Research Thesis courses, the projects available and how to find a supervisor, please join the  Research Thesis Projects  page on Moodle (enrolment key co3shyh). These courses are normally taken over three consecutive terms. However, students that make excellent progress in Thesis A, may be allowed to take Thesis B and Thesis C in the same term. High performing students may be permitted to take  CEIC9005  (or CEIC4005) in lieu of their regular Research Thesis courses. Contact the course coordinator for more information. Product Design Project Thesis (CEIC4007/8) Product Design Project Thesis  consists of two courses both worth 6 UOC –  CEIC4007  Product Design Project Thesis A and  CEIC4008  Product Design Project Thesis B. Undergraduate students may commence Research Thesis once they have completed at least 126 UOC from a School of Chemical Engineering discipline stream.  CEIC6711  Complex Fluids Microstructure and Rheology is a co-requisite course. You do not need to secure a supervisor before commencing Product Design Project Thesis A. Research Thesis Extension (CEIC4954) Research Thesis Extension  ( CEIC4954 ) aims to provide you with an opportunity to go extend your thesis project by exploring your research problem in more breath &/or depth. The work you do in this course builds on the work completed in CEIC4951, CEIC4952 and CEIC4953. This course is especially relevant for undergraduate students considering a research career in fields related to chemical engineering and food science. The activities in this course are designed to introduce you to the ways in which research is practiced and communicated in a higher degree environment. CEIC4954 is considered a practice elective in the Chemical Engineering stream (CEICAH) and a discipline elective in all other streams. Students enrolled in an undergraduate degree within the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering need to complete a thesis as part of their program. Students have the option of taking one of the following course combinations to complete their thesis requirement: CVEN4951 / 4952 / 4953  (Research Thesis A/B/C) Students must complete the  Thesis Application Form to be registered for the course. This combination of courses are worth 12UOC in total, and will take 3 terms to complete (or 2 with prior approval from the supervisor). A minimum WAM of 70 is required for entry. CVEN4961 / 4962 / 4963  (Higher Honours Thesis A/B/C) Students must complete the  Thesis Application Form  to be registered for the course. This combination of courses are worth worth 24UOC in total and requires students to have a minimum WAM of 80. Note: If you choose to undertake the Research Thesis option (CVEN4951/4952/4953 or CVEN4961/4962/4963) you must also complete CVEN4701 prior to finishing your studies. CVEN4050 / 4051  (Thesis A/B) Students are able to enrol themselves into this course directly via myUNSW, it has no minimum WAM requirement, and does not require students to find a supervisor. If you would like to register for Research Thesis subjects in Summer, you must first obtain approval from your supervisor prior to Summer enrolment. Please check the course notes for more information. Thesis Submissions As of Summer 2024, students will need to submit their Thesis submissions via Moodle instead of the School’s intranet.

To take this stream, you will need to first enrol in MERE4951 Research Thesis A. MERE4951 Research Thesis A In this course you will be required to find a supervisor and topic to work on. You can find a list of our research strengths here: https://www.unsw.edu.au/engineering//our-schools/minerals-and-energy-resources-engineering/our-research You can also find an individual academic and ask them about topics that they work on. Academics from our school are available here: https://www.unsw.edu.au/engineering/ourschools/minerals-and-energy-resources-engineering/about-us/our-people Once you enrol, make sure you have access to the Microsoft Team (the link is on the Moodle page), which is filled with information and has active forums for asking questions: MERE4952 & MERE9453 Research Thesis B & C These two units (4UoC each) can be taken in the same term or separately. Thesis B involves submitting a video/audio reflection of the work so far and an interim report. Thesis C involves writing your thesis and recording and submitting a scientific presentation of your results./engineering/our-schools/minerals-and-energy-resources-engineering/our-researchengineering/our-schools/minerals-and-energy-resources-engineering/our-research All undergrad thesis sudents can find a list of thesis topics will posted on the  Thesis A Moodle site . The student key to access the site will be sent out by the thesis co-ordinator to all students who will be taking thesis the following term. You should review the list and discuss the topics with the relevant supervisor to get an idea of what it entails. Once both the supervisor and student have agreed on the topic, a Thesis Nomination Form should be completed. This is submitted to the Thesis Coordinator and uploaded to the SOLA 4951 Moodle site prior to the student commencing work on their topic. All students must have chosen a supervisor by 9am Monday week 1 of term. You can develop your own thesis topic, if you can find a supervisor from within the School. This will require you to attach a one page description of the thesis topic and signed by the supervisor to the Thesis Nomination Form. The School also encourages students who wish to do an industry-led thesis topic. In this case the mentor from industry would be the student’s co-supervisor, however an academic staff member from the School must act as the supervisor of the thesis. For an industry-led thesis, you must obtain approval from an academic of the School to supervise the topic. You should submit a signed letter from the industry representative and academic supervisor with a brief outline of the project with a Thesis Nomination Form. All information needed for the deliverables of thesis A can be found in the course outline which is available on the SOLA4951 Moodle site. Undergraduate Thesis FAQs The Engineering thesis will be taken for the duration of three terms - as Thesis A, Thesis B and Thesis C. Each course will carry 4 Units of Credit (UoC) for a total of 12 UoC. The total UoC requirement remains unchanged from current. Students will have two options to take Thesis from 2019: Option 1 - Standard: (4 UoC per term starting T1, T2 or T3) : Students enrol in Thesis A, Thesis B and thesis C and complete the Thesis across three consecutive terms. Total of 12 UoC.  Note than once Thesis A is taken, Thesis B and Thesis C must be taken consecutively in the two terms that follow.   Option 2: (4+8: 4 UoC in one term and 8 UoC in the following term) : Students who demonstrate satisfactory progress in Thesis A may apply to their School to take a 4+8 UoC structure where both Thesis B and C are taken in the next single term of that year. Total of 12 UoC.  This option is subject to having demonstrated satisfactory progress in Thesis A. Students who do not maintain satisfactory performance in Option 2 will revert to Option 1 and take Thesis across three terms. Thesis A, Thesis B and Thesis C will run in every term (T1, T2 and T3). Yes, it’s possible to start your thesis in any term, however once Thesis A is taken, Thesis B and Thesis C must be completed in each term consecutively afterward. Depending on the thesis course you take, your topic may be provided to you or you will need to develop one. If you need to develop one, most schools have a website that lists available topics and the staff willing to supervise those topics. You may wish to select a topic based on areas of engineering interest, extracurricular interests (such as the  ChallENG Projects ), or preference for working with a particular academic in your field.  You can even come up with your own in consultation with your thesis supervisor. Take a look! The process is different for each school, so review the information above. If you still have questions, contact your school’s  postgraduate thesis coordinator . Doing thesis in industry is a great opportunity and worth pursuing. Some students are able to arrange a thesis project that follows on from an industrial training placement. Students wanting to take an industry-based project still need to take the Research Thesis courses for their specialisation. You need to arrange a UNSW academic as a co-supervisor and apply for permission to take thesis offsite. Please check with your school’s  Undergraduate Thesis Coordinator  for further details. Yes, there are a number of Humanitarian Engineering Thesis Supervisors within UNSW Engineering who can potentially supervise a thesis. Students who demonstrate satisfactory progress in Thesis A may apply to their School to take a 4+8 UoC structure where both Thesis B and C are taken in the next single term of that year. The 4+8 UoC option is intended for high performing students to finish their thesis project in two terms. Students enrolled in this structure will take Thesis A in the first term and then, provided that satisfactory progress has been reached, will take Thesis B and C in the term following Thesis A. Yes. In addition to the Thesis, you can enrol in up to two additional courses per term. You should enrol in these courses when annual enrolment opens. Overloading is possible but will require program authority approval. If progress is deemed as unsatisfactory at the end of Thesis A, the student will move to the default Thesis option: Thesis A, B and C (4 UoC). Yes, you’ll still be able to enrol in up to two additional courses. Given the increased workload of having to do Thesis B and C together, two courses per term would be the maximum recommended by the Faculty. An enrolment continued (EC) grade will appear against your Thesis A/Thesis B subjects until you’ve completed your thesis. At this time your final grade will appear against your Thesis C. Around a week after you have received your final mark, a roll back process will be run so that the EC grades previously against Thesis A and Thesis B will be updated to reflect your overall Thesis mark. Information on honours calculations are available on the  Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program  rules page. It’s possible to take leave and then continue your thesis on your return. Talk to your supervisor about your situation and the dates involved so that you can work out a suitable plan together. Most schools have a Moodle, intranet, or web page with detailed information about their thesis program. That should be your next port of call – check your school’s section above for access instructions. Schools often run information sessions during the year. These will be advertised via email, on social media and/or during class. Keep an eye out for these events. If you have questions related to enrolment or progression, contact the  Nucleus . Finally, each school has an  Undergraduate Thesis Coordinator  who can answer specific questions related to your personal circumstances.
