Prerequisites: Requires approval by a faculty member who agrees to supervise the work.
Points of credit to be approved by the department. Requires submission of an outline of the proposed research for approval by the faculty member who is to supervise the work of the student. The research facilities of the department are available to qualified students interested in advanced study.
Theoretical or experimental study or research in graduate areas in mechanical engineering and engineering science.
HRSMA students may receive one academic credit for the completion of a relevant internship. The credit would count towards the elective requirement for the degree. In order to receive one credit, students will be required to complete a total of 100 internship hours. The internship must be professional in nature and substantively focused on human rights or social justice. For more information, students should refer to the HRSMA Digital Handbook.

Analysis of public management literature on innovation covering such topics as engineering, team based management, privatization, public private partnership, contracting, benchmarking, quality management, and strategic planning. Emphasis is on advantages and disadvantages of these techniques in a point counterpoint format.
In the summer and autumn semesters, the Workshop emphasizes management issues. Students enroll in small, faculty-advised project teams and design a detailed operational plan for addressing an important public policy problem. Each Workshop faculty member selects a piece of proposed but not yet enacted state, federal, or local environmental law (or a U.N. resolution) and students are asked to develop a plan for implementing and managing the new program. In the summer semester, the Workshop groups write reports explaining the environmental science aspects of a management problem to political decision-makers who are not scientists. During the autumn semester the Workshop completes the operational plan for implementing the program. Both the summer and autumn Workshop projects will be on issues central to the two earth systems problem themes that the cohort will focus on throughout their course of study.
