Program

Students in Building Technology are required to complete a 6 credit thesis in the third term of their study under direct supervision of one or more of the above listed advisors. The thesis is typically a stand alone research project that may be application driven or theoretical depending on the student's interest.

In addition to the thesis, students are required to take:

• One 3 credit course to prepare towards the thesis -- This course is generally under one of the core faculty (this may also be an independent directed study),
• 12 credit hours of core electives from the department, and
• 9 credit hours of additional electives from within or outside the department (with approval from the core advisor). The total number of credit hours required for the curriculum adds to 30.
