III. Electives (12 credits)
Four courses to strengthen the preparation of the candidates to solve the problem.
IV. DEMS Dissertation (30 credits min.)
EME 800X Dissertation
Dissertation Problem
The solution of an appropriate dissertation problem that arises from the manufacturing facility which when solved will have relevance to advancing the ‘state of the art’ in manufacturing. The result may be a new manufacturing related device, process, system, or software, etc., for which high level scholarship engineering expertise and ingenuity are required to find the solution.
While intermediate results might be quite immediately useful to the manufacturing facility, the total objective of the problem must remain the mainconcern of the advisors. The advisors must ensure that a good blend of advanced technology and creativity is important for the solution of a manufacturing problem.
