engineering must have received a bachelor’s degree in a field of engineering
from an ABET accredited engineering program or, in the case
of foreign students, must present evidence of an equivalent preparation.
Furthermore, applicants are expected to have a grade-point average
(GPA) of 3.0 or better for undergraduate work and all graduate
and post-bachelor work. Applicants who have an undergraduate GPA
between 2.5 and 3.0 may be considered for probationary admission on
a case-by-case basis which will include a review of their last 60 hours
of engineering course work and GRE scores.
Applicants with Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics, the
sciences, or other undergraduate degrees will be considered on a caseby-case
basis. Such students must complete a core program specific
to each department including any prerequisite for each or pass the
equivalent credit examinations with a grade of “B” or better. See the
website of each department for the course listings.
Furthermore, all students must complete all requirements for the
graduate courses in which they wish to enroll, and must meet any
additional general requirements as may be stipulated by the Graduate
School or the College of Engineering.
Master of Science in Engineering Degree Requirements
After admission, students are required to select an area of concentration
(either civil, environmental, electrical, mechanical, or naval
architecture and marine engineering). A choice is provided between a
thesis or a research program, calling for 30 hours of graduate work,
including six hours of thesis research; and a non-thesis (or course
only) option, requiring 33 hours of graduate credit.
Concentration Certificate
The Master of Science program allows for the election of concentrations.
A concentration indicates you have taken sufficient courses
(9 of the 12 elective credit hours) in a specific area to merit a Concentration
Certificate. The Concentration Certificate is issued by the
Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Affairs in the College of
Engineering.
Concentrations are allowed in the following areas:
Civil and Environmental Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering
Finance
International Business
Human Resource Management
Management of Information Systems
Master of Science in Environmental Engineering
The College of Engineering offers a program of graduate study
leading to the degree of Master of Science in Environmental Engineering.
The educational objectives of the M.S. in Environmental Engineering
program are to fill the need for engineers who are prepared to
provide the highly specialized expertise needed to solve municipal
and industrial wastewater, and other environmental problems of concern
to industry and urban communities. To meet this demand, the
program provides the following sub-specialties within environmental
engineering: municipal water and wastewater treatment, industrial
wastewater treatment; collection, treatment and disposal of solid
waste and hazardous substances; air pollution monitoring, modeling,
control and management; and water resources/environmental quality
modeling and control.
The environmental engineering curriculum has a core of a minimum
of 21 credit hours, which include: Civil Engineering 4325, 4328,
6327, 6331 (or Geology 4658), 6332, 6333, and 6365. It will also include
six credit hours of thesis work and three hours of an elective course.
A student seeking a master’s degree in environmental engineering
must complete a minimum of 30 hours of graduate work, including six
hours of thesis research. Students taking Civil Engineering 6331 (4cr.)
will complete 31 credits, whereas those who choose Geology 4658 will
complete 30 credit hours.
The preferred applicant will possess a BS in an ABET credited engineering
program, or foreign equivalent. Other BS in physics, chemistry,
mathematics, biology, environmental science, and similar programs
will be considered. Students with non-engineering degrees will have to
complete the engineering science requirements listed below.
Applicants without an Undergraduate Degree in
Engineering
Students who do not have an engineering undergraduate degree must
complete a core foundation of general engineering studies by taking
the appropriate courses listed below and any prerequisites to these
courses, or by passing equivalent credit examinations with a grade of
B or better.

Master of Science in Engineering Management
The College of Engineering cooperates with the College of Business
Administration in offering an M.S. degree in Engineering Management.
This program makes use of the expertise and resources of the faculty
of both colleges. This program is intended for engineers who wish to
remain in their engineering area of expertise but desire to improve
their managerial skills and their understanding of business practices.
Admissions
Students admitted into the master of science of engineering management
or certificate programs must possess an undergraduate
degree in engineering. The program is not open to students with a
non-technical education. Those with technical, but non-engineering
degrees, must receive permission of the Dean of the College of Engineering
in order to enter the program. Candidates for the engineering
management graduate program must meet the general University of
New Orleans criteria for admission to graduate school and must also
have an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0. Applicants who have an
undergraduate GPA between 2.5 and 3.0 may be considered for probationary
admission on a case-by-case basis which will include a review
of their last 60 hours of engineering course work and GRE scores.
Master of Science in Engineering Management Degree
Requirements
There are two options available for the degree of Master of Science
in Engineering Management, the non-thesis and the thesis option.
Non-thesis Option:
Completion of 33 credit hours including 18 credit hours of required
core courses and three credit hours for a capstone course. The remaining
12 credit hours must be selected from approved electives.
Thesis Option:
Completion of 30 credit hours including a minimum of six credit
hours of thesis research, and 18 credit hours of required core courses.
