Enrollment Plan: IOE students earning Directed Study credit on an MDP Project
| Winter Semester | Fall Semester |
|---|---|
| ENGR 555 (2 credit hours) | ENGR 555 (2 credit hours) |
*note: beginning Winter 2026, MDP will be enrolling graduate students via ENGR 555 (instead of ENGR 599, utilized Fall 2025 and earlier).
If students wish to utilize IOE 590 for 3 credits, then:
(1) The MDP project must be pre-approved by the IOE department.
(2) Students are required to have an IOE co-advisor (if the MDP faculty mentor is not from IOE).
(3) Following the standard IOE 590 requirements, students must submit a one-page proposal describing the project and the project deliverables. The IOE faculty member must sign-off on this document before the student may register.
(4) Students will enroll in 1 credit of ENGR 599 in the Winter Semester and 3 credits of IOE 590 in the following Fall Semesters.
| Winter Semester | Fall Semester |
|---|---|
| ENGR 555 (1 credit hour) | IOE 590 (3 credit hours) |
