ME 888 Seminars

ME 888 Mechanical Engineering Seminars Objective:
To broaden the background and knowledge of ME graduate students by exposing them to a wide range of contemporary research topics in the diverse field of Mechanical Engineering. Course requirements for ME 888 as well as the speakers for the current quarter listed below. If you click on the title of a seminar, then you will be taken to a page where you can see the information about the person speaking individual's abstract for the seminar.

ME 888 Requirements:

  1. All full time ME graduate students are required to register for ME 888 and to attend the seminars every quarter (except Summer quarter). Only Ph.D. students who have passed their Candidacy exam and part time students are exempt.
  2. Students who are registered for ME 888 are required to attend a minimum of four seminars per quarter. Up to two of the four seminars could be informal seminars, which are defined as technical presentations either in (a) the Department of Mechanical Engineering other than ME 888, or (b) the College of Engineering. Students should consult their advisors about these informal seminars.
  3. Students who have time conflicts with other courses are required to register for ME 888R and are required to attend a minimum of four informal seminars in consultation with their advisors.
  4. Presentations attended at a conference or seminars by other students (except in ME 888) cannot count toward the course requirement.
  5. Students will be required to complete an ME 888 Report at the end of each seminar and submit the report to the designated area. A staff member from the Mechanical Engineering department will distribute the ME 888 Report for students to complete during each seminar. The ME 888 Report will serve as an attendance checklist as well as a way to actively gauge both the speaker and topic.
  6. Students who are registered students in ME 888R are required to complete and submit the ME 888R report to the Graduate Advising Office or to megradprogram@osu.edu with "ME 888R Report" typed in the "Subject" line by 5:00 pm on the day of the last scheduled ME 888 seminar for that quarter. ME 888R reports must have the advisor's signature. Failure to submit the report by e-mail on time will result in an "Unsatisfactory" grade.
  7. Failure to attend at least 4 seminars in a quarter will result in an "Unsatisfactory" grade.

All ME 888 Seminars will be held in E001 Scott Laboratory unless otherwise stated.
