Eligibility to sit for the examination requires that students maintain a minimum program GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale and submit a formal written request to take the examination at least thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled date.\nStudents are expected to pass both qualifying examinations by the end of their first year. Passing both exams is required to continue in the program beyond the second year. Although there is no limit on the number of attempts allowed for students into take each exam, students who do not pass both exams by the end of their second year will be dismissed from the program but may be eligible for an MS degree en route.</div></div></li></ul></div></div></div></section><section><div><header><div><h2>Candidacy Examination</h2></div><div><span>0</span><span>Total Credits</span></div><div><button aria-label=\"Collapse\"><i></i></button></div></header><div><div><ul><li data-test=\"ruleView-A\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-A-result\"><div>The Candidacy Examination is a pivotal step taken prior to a student’s formal admission to Ph.D. Candidacy. Unlike exams based purely on textbook material, this examination focuses on advanced topics closely aligned with the student’s prospective dissertation project, often encompassing recent developments and ongoing research in the field. Its purpose is to ensure the student is well-prepared to undertake independent research and contribute meaningfully to the discipline.\nThis exam is administered by the Candidacy Examination Committee, composed of the student’s Ph.D. advisor and two other members of the Graduate Faculty. It comprises of two parts, a written report and an oral examination. \nThe written component of the exam must be submitted as a research report to the Candidacy Examination Committee, which will evaluate its breadth, depth, and relevance. If the report receives approval, the oral examination will be scheduled.\nThe oral examination is conducted privately and is not open to the public. The Candidacy Examination Committee determines the structure and duration of the exam. During this examination, students are expected to demonstrate mastery of the topics presented in their research report by responding to questions related to the subject matter. \nStudents must complete the Candidacy Examination before the end of their fourth year. Students are granted a maximum of two attempts to successfully pass the examination.

Although there is no limit on the number of attempts allowed for students to take each exam, students who do not pass both exams by the end of their second year will be dismissed from the program but may be eligible for an MS degree en route.</div></div></li></ul></div></div></div></section><section><div><header><div><h2>Candidacy Examination</h2></div><div><span>0</span><span>Total Credits</span></div><div><button aria-label=\"Collapse\"><i></i></button></div></header><div><div><ul><li data-test=\"ruleView-A\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-A-result\"><div>The Candidacy Examination must be completed before a student’s formal admission to Ph.D. Candidacy. This examination emphasizes advanced topics aligned with the student’s prospective dissertation project, with a particular focus on research in financial mathematics. \n\nThe exam is administered by the Candidacy Examination Committee, which consists of the student’s Ph.D. advisor and two additional members of the Graduate Faculty. It includes two distinct components:\n\n1.\tWritten Report – The student must submit a research report to the committee, which will assess the breadth, depth, rigor, and relevance of the work. The written report must demonstrate the student’s preparedness for independent research and alignment with their proposed dissertation topic in financial mathematics.\n\n2.\tOral Examination – Upon approval of the written report, the oral examination will be scheduled. This private exam provides an opportunity for the student to discuss their research report in depth. The examination committee will assess the student’s mastery of the presented material by asking questions related to the research topic contained in the approved written report. \n\nThe structure and duration of the oral examination are determined by the Candidacy Examination Committee. The student is required to pass both components to advance in the program. A maximum of two attempts is permitted to successfully complete the examination.\n\nThis rigorous process ensures that students are well-prepared to undertake their dissertation research and contribute novel insights to the field of financial mathematics.\n\nStudents must complete the Candidacy Examination before the end of their fourth year. Students are granted a maximum of two attempts to successfully pass the examination. Students who do not pass the Candidacy Examination within two attempts and before the end of the fourth year will be dismissed from the program but may be eligible for an MS degree en route.</div></div></li></ul></div></div></div></section></div></div></section><section><header data-test=\"grouping-4-header\"><div><h2 data-testid=\"grouping-label\"><span>Seminar Participation</span></h2></div><div><span>0</span><span>Total Credits</span></div><div><div><button aria-label=\"Collapse\"><i></i></button></div></div></header><div><div><ul><li data-test=\"ruleView-A\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-A-result\"><div>Ph.D. students in the financial mathematics track are required to attend seminars and colloquia hosted by the Mathematics Department.

"description": "<p>Mechanical engineering applies the principles of engineering, physics, and materials science for the design, analysis, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems. Involving the design, production, and operation of machinery, the field requires an understanding of core concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, structural analysis and electricity. Mechanical engineers use these core principles with tools like computer-aided design (CAD) software to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, cars, aircraft, robotics, weapons, medical devices, and much more.</p> <br /> <p>UCF’s program prepares students to apply principles of engineering, basic science and mathematics (including multivariate calculus and differential equations) to model, analyze, design and realize physical systems, components or processes; and to work professionally in either thermal or mechanical systems while requiring topics in each area. </p> <br /> <p><br /><br /></p> <br /> <h4>CECS Progress Policy</h4> <ul> <li>Students in the Mechanical Engineering major are expected to make consistent good progress toward their degrees to remain enrolled in, or eligible for, any major, minor, or certificate in the College of Engineering & Computer Science (CECS) or the College of Optics and Photonics (COP). To support this, CECS and COP enforce a Progress Policy with two components: the low grade component and the repeat attempt component. <ul> <li><strong>Low Grade Component</strong>: Any student majoring in Mechanical Engineering who has accumulated 7 or more unsuccessful attempts (i.e., grades below "C" (2.0), U grades, and withdrawals, including in 0-credit courses) over all courses taken at UCF will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation has a tenth unsuccessful attempt over all courses taken at UCF, the student will be Excluded from all CECS and COP majors, minors, and certificates.</li> <li><strong>Repeat Attempt Component</strong>: Any student majoring in Mechanical Engineering who repeats any UCF course and does not earn a grade of "C" (2.0) or better on the second attempt will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation does not receive a grade of "C" (2.0) or better by the third attempt in the same UCF course, the student will be Excluded from all CECS and COP majors, minors, and certificates.</li> </ul> </li> <li>A student who has been excluded from CECS and COP majors cannot declare any CECS or COP minors or certificates unless as required by the student’s degree program. A student who has been excluded from CECS and COP majors may seek readmission to a major in CECS or COP after earning a bachelor’s degree or relevant associate of science degree, either from another college at UCF or from another institution. To be eligible for readmission to CECS or COP, the student must not have accumulated any additional low grades in subsequent coursework used to complete the earned degree. An excluded student who meets these criteria is not guaranteed readmission to a CECS or COP major. Any student who is readmitted to the Mechanical Engineering major will be subject to all probation conditions that applied at the time of exclusion.</li> </ul><p>This program prepares students for state-regulated professional licensure or certification. For more information on how this program may prepare you in that regard, please view the <a href=\"https://apq.ucf.edu/document/mechanicalengbs-disclosure/\"><u>licensure disclosure for the Mechanical Engineering (B.S.M.E.)</u></a> program.</p>",
