1st Ad ME Professional Master's Program@Purdue

被降为了一年制的课程项目。附上邮件里的15个关于项目的问答。 ME Professional Master’s Program TOP 15 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Is PMP a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Management) course or not?
•       A: Yes, the PMP is a Mechanical Engineering degree program.  However, students in this program will take some courses in engineering management to help prepare them for careers in industry.  Graduates of this program will receive the Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) degree.

Q2: Does PMP require any previous work experience?
•       A: No, you are not required to have any previous work experience.

Q3: Does this offer mean that I have been denied admission to the 2-Year MSME non-thesis or the 2-Year MSME thesis or any other MSME program that I originally applied to?
•       A: Unfortunately, admissions for the other non-thesis MSME program and the thesis MSME program are now complete for Fall 2019.  The Mechanical Engineering Professional Master’s program may be an option for you because the graduates of this program still receive an MSME degree.  Of course, you need to be capable of the faster pace as well as the financial self-support inherent to this program.

Q4: Will there be any phrases or information on the degree saying that this is a Professional Master’s program?
.. •       A: The degree is still an MSME and the professional aspect means the student received additional training in leadership and organizational management that the transcript will show.

Q5: Am I able to continue for a PhD study? •       A: The Professional Master’s program is geared more towards industry, however, you can apply for any degree including the PhD, if you meet the program requirements.

Q6: What other differences between the two degrees seem prevalent?
•       A: The Mechanical Engineering Professional Master's program is a non-thesis Mechanical Engineering Master’s program. Graduates of this program will receive a MSME degree. The ME Professional Master's program will allow you to further develop technical specialties, as well as build professional and managerial skills as a Mechanical Engineer.

Q7: How long it will take for the Admissions Committee to review my application for PMP?
•       A: The Admissions Committee has already found you qualified for the PMP option.  Once you communicate your interest, you will receive an official decision letter from the graduate school.

Q8: Can I wait until I get a decision from the initial application, and then reply to accept to PMP?
•       A: Unfortunately, the School of Mechanical Engineering admissions committee have concluded their recommendations for admissions for our MSME thesis and MSME non-thesis programs for Fall 2019.  You were not offered these options but are being offered the PMP option.

Q9: Do I need to complete a new application form to apply for PMP? •       A: No, your application that you had originally submitted has been reviewed and is adequate.  You only need to communicate your decision regarding applying for PMP.

Q10: Is it possible for me to be considered for both programs?
•       A: At this point, we are only considering students for the ME Professional Master’s program for Fall 2019.

Q11: Is it possible for me as an international student, to take the course part-time (i.e. take longer than 1 year) if I wish to do that?
•       A: If you choose to take fewer course while legally maintaining full-time international graduate student status, the program can span longer than a year.

Q12: If the PMP does not have Purdue funding options, do students self-fund for this program?
•       A: Yes the students must be self-funded.  Purdue funding is not available for the Professional Master’s program.

Q13: May I transfer from the professional masters’ option to a thesis masters option
•       A: No, transfers are not allowed into the thesis option.  However, you may apply for appropriate other degrees, after completing the PMP degree.

Q14: Can I do research with my advisor in the PMP program
•       A: Students are allowed up to 6 credit hours of independent studies classes that may include research projects, typically in summer.

Q15: Does the PMP have a BS/MS option? •       A: The PMP does not have the BS/MS option, since it is already a one-year program.

发给你了～

据内部消息，该项目开设原因是不少之前master non-thesis项目的学生抱怨说在一年之内就完成了学校课程内容并且又由于强制性的两年毕业条件造成其寻找工作上的困扰，所以学校针对high quality students专门开设了这个项目，并且在今年申请了non-thesis项目的学生中选择了前百分之***的学生发信询问是否对此项目感兴趣，并不是楼主认为的降档录取。由于该项目为新设立所以申请者较少，顾剩余名额较多，且该项目并不限制学生的选课内容，学生可以自由选择系所内各个组别的课程，学生可以选择一年毕业，也可以选择延期毕业学习跟多的课程或者和教授做research program，唯一缺点是由于是一年项目学校无法提供奖助学金，但是学生可以申请校外的企业补助金。Sorry无法回应楼主的好友申请，本人大米差5颗到100，被限制权限了。

原来如此。听你这么一说这个项目还是很好的。只是我个人的还是想继续深造。这个一年的项目与两年的thesis项目相比就不太适合读博了。

能留微信交流一下吗，我也录到这个项目了
