b. Technical research or technical reform research (includes applied research, experiment research, systematic research) thesis is required to have correct analysis procedure, scientific experiment methods and reliable experiment results.
c. Thesis focuses on process management shall have specific engineering application background, economic or social benefit research achievements, abundant and reliable statistic or collected data, scientific and correct theoretical modeling and analysis methods.
7. Mid-term examination and distribution
For the thesis progress of full-time MEng students, the department shall organize relevant faculties to form an expert group and examine their thesis. The preliminary examination time is at about 5 months after accomplishing the thesis proposal. For students who have difficulties in the thesis work or who cannot meet the demand of the schedule, they can change the research content and take the thesis proposal again, or they can apply for postponing their graduation, and advice from the supervisor and the students shall be asked for.
8. Demand of practice
Full-time MEng students must have over 6 months’ internship in enterprise.
9. Others
The specialty foundation courses in this engineering field can be taken as specialty optional courses. Other academic or engineering field graduate courses can be taken as the optional courses in this field as needed.
Interdisciplinary students or students with equivalent qualifications must enroll in 2 undergraduate major compulsory courses. Students are advised to contact their supervisor for further details and instructions. Students who don’t take the courses or fail the courses cannot participate their Master thesis oral defense.
