For more information, see the College of Graduate Studies <a href=\"https://graduate.ucf.edu/funding/\" target=\"_blank\">Funding website</a>, which describes the types of financial assistance available at UCF and provides general guidance in planning your graduate finances. The Financial Information section of the Graduate Catalog is another key resource.</p> <p><strong>UCF Student Financial Assistance</strong><br />Millican Hall 120<br />Telephone: 407-823-2827<br />Appointment Line: 407-823-5285<br />Fax: 407-823-5241<br /><a href=\"mailto:finaid@ucf.edu\">finaid@ucf.edu</a><br /><a href=\"http://finaid.ucf.edu/\" target=\"_blank\">Website</a></p><h1>Fellowship Information</h1><p>Fellowships are awarded based on academic merit to highly qualified students. They are paid to students through the Office of Student Financial Assistance, based on instructions provided by the College of Graduate Studies. Fellowships are given to support a student's graduate study and do not have a work obligation. For more information, see <a href=\"https://graduate.ucf.edu/fellowships/\" target=\"_blank\">UCF Graduate Fellowships</a>, which includes descriptions of university fellowships and what you should do to be considered for a fellowship.</p> <p><strong>Grad Fellowships</strong><br />Telephone: 407-823-0127<br /><a href=\"mailto:gradfellowship@ucf.edu\">gradfellowship@ucf.edu</a><br /><a href=\"https://graduate.ucf.edu/funding/\" target=\"_blank\">Website</a></p><br /> <p>All students must identify an adviser and file an official degree program of study prior to the completion of 9 credit hours of study. Students should consult with the MAE graduate program director for assistance in completing the program of study form. The program of study must have departmental approval and must include at least 24 credit hours of formal course work, exclusive of thesis and research. Furthermore, at least half of the credit hours must be from courses at the 6000 level.</p> <p>Substitutions to the program of study must meet with the approval of the adviser and the department. More information is available from the MAE departmental website listed above.</p> <h3>Equipment Fee</h3> <p>Students in the Mechanical Engineering MSME program pay a $90 equipment fee each semester that they are enrolled. Part- time students pay $45 per semester.</p> <h3>Independent Learning</h3> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p>The Independent Learning requirement is met by successful completion of a master's thesis for the thesis option. The independent learning experience in the nonthesis option is provided by the required course, EML 6085 - Research Methods in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (3 credit hours). For students who work on a research topic with an MAE faculty, XXX 6918 Directed Research (3 credit hours) may be used to substitute EML6085 as the student's independent learning experience. After the graduate program director approves the substitution, the faculty supervising the directed research will create a special registration of XXX 6918 for the student.</p> <br />",
