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 for the student. EML 6085 - Research Methods in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering or XXX 6918 Directed Research fulfill the independent learning requirement and either course is required for nonthesis students. </li><li>Earn at least 3 credits from the following types of courses: Additional elective course from the suggested list above. </li></ul></li></ul></li></ul><h4>Grand Total Credits: <strong>30</strong></h4><h2>Application Requirements</h2><h2>Financial Information</h2><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans. For more information, see the College of Graduate Studies Funding website, 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><h2>Fellowship Information</h2><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 UCF Graduate Fellowships, which includes descriptions of university fellowships and what you should do to be considered for a fellowship.</p><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. The program of study must be approved by the department and therefore students should consult with the MAE graduate director for assistance in filling out their program of study.</p><p>A student with an undergraduate degree outside of the selected departmental discipline may also be required to satisfy an articulation program. Substitutions to the program of study must meet with the approval of the adviser and the department.</p><strong>Equipment Fee</strong><p>Students in the Aerospace Engineering MSAE program pay a $90 equipment fee each semester that they are enrolled.</p><strong>Independent Learning</strong><p>The independent learning requirement is met by successful completion of a master's thesis for the thesis option. The nonthesis option independent learning experience 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 for the student.</p>",
