Thesis/Alternate Plan Paper

The required experiential component of MS MET degree is an Alternate Plan Paper (APP) or a Thesis under the supervision of a faculty member.

The experience is intended to place the student in a real-world work or research environment requiring them to work to solve a technical problem.

Students must form a committee of 3 faculty members for the Thesis/APP, at least 2 of them must be from AMET department. Student must also defend their work in front of the committee by making a presentation before graduating.
