Student Resources
-
- Students generally elect to take the Course Option. In some cases, with the approval of a research advisor, the Essay Option may be used to fulfill the MSE Robotics degree requirements. In the standard Course Option, ten (10) courses must be taken as articulated herein. For the Essay Option, eight (8) courses must be taken, not including any research courses, and research must be performed leading to a formal MSE Essay. Degree Track requirements are the same for both the Course and Essay Options. Please see the advising manual for more details.
- To qualify for the essay option, fill out and submit the MSE Robotics Essay Agreement Form at least two weeks before the beginning of your research. Note the form requires the signature of you, your essay advisor, and the Robotics Director of Education.
- Register for Essay Research classes
- These are in the home department of your research advisor (for example: if your research advisor is Noah Cowan, then you would sign up for the Mechanical Engineering course Master’s Research: EN.530.600).
- If you are on non-resident status, sign up for the Non-Resident Course instead: EN.910.600
- If you have any questions about this requirement, confirm you are signed up for the correct course with Alison Morrow.
- It is recommended that students meet with their essay advisors to develop a timeline for research and essay writing, and that portions of the essay be written as the research proceeds. For example, the introduction, background, and motivation for the research can and should often be written in the very early stages of the research. It is recommended that the student and advisor choose a second reader to review the essay.
- Your essay must be submitted to your advisor for edits at least four weeks before the Robotics essay submission deadline
-
The final version of the master’s essay must be submitted, with the cover page signed by the student’s advisor, to the LCSR Administrative Office and EDT (Electronic Theses and Dissertation staff) by the essay completion date.
For Spring 2020, this date is May 7, 2020.
