Thesis and dissertation standards

The thesis or dissertation must be a document of the best professional standards. It is also good practice for the student to prepare a document that meets the criteria for publication in the relevant professional journals. As the original copy of the thesis or dissertation will be kept in the University Libraries, and copied for microfilming and other purposes, the paper and the production must conform to standards of long archive life and clear reproducibility. In addition, an electronic copy of the thesis or dissertation is required by the College of Engineering for archiving by the department. These instructions provide a guide for the production of a high-quality thesis or dissertation document, and formatting specifications to ensure some basic consistency among engineering theses and dissertations. It is the responsibility of the student to see that these guidelines are met, and the responsibility of the department to confirm this before submitting the thesis or dissertation to the College of Engineering Dean for approval. While preparing your thesis or dissertation the guidelines in the booklet, Publishing Your Doctoral Dissertation with UMI Dissertation Publishing, provided by ProQuest/UMI should be followed. Download a copy of this booklet, or obtain it from the department's graduate coordinator. Other requirements specific to the college are provided below.

For the latest and most complete graduate policies, please view or download the graduate student handbook .

M.S. thesis and Ph.D. dissertation due dates

Submission procedure, required documentation, manuscript format requirements.

August and December graduates

Theses and dissertations must be submitted to the department ten days before the Final Grades Due date. The department must submit the thesis or dissertation and documentation to the Dean by the Final Grades Due date.

May graduates

Theses and dissertations must be submitted to the department ten days before the Final Grades for Graduating Students Due date. The department must submit the thesis or dissertation and documentation to the Dean by the Final Grades for Graduating Students Due date.

The College of Engineering requires that all theses and dissertations be submitted to both the Carnegie Mellon University Institutional Repository and the ProQuest ETD Administrator Repository. This can be accomplished through the ProQuest ETD Administrator website .

ProQuest offers two publishing options: Traditional Publishing and Open Access Publishing PLUS. In all types of publishing, you will retain the copyright to your work . For a fee, ProQuest will officially register a student’s copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office. Official registration is not required to maintain the copyright, but registration may provide certain legal benefits. For more information, view the UMI Copyright Guide .

• Traditional publishing Students enter into an agreement granting ProQuest the non-exclusive license to publish their abstract and to duplicate and distribute their dissertation. The abstract, bibliography, and other metadata of the thesis or dissertation will be included in the ProQuest Dissertations and Theses database (PQDT). ProQuest pays authors a 10% royalty on any sales of their work.
• Open access publishing through ProQuest PLUS Students enter into an agreement granting ProQuest the non-exclusive license to publish their work on the ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Open Database and make it available for free download. Students do not receive royalties with this option. There is a one-time upfront fee. View more information on Open Access Publishing PLUS . 

Carnegie Mellon University Institutional Repository

During the ProQuest ETD Administrator submission process, students will be required to publish their thesis or dissertation at the Carnegie Mellon University Institutional Repository. This repository, supported by the Libraries, will provide online, open access to work produced by Carnegie Mellon University faculty and students. There is the option to restrict the thesis or dissertation to only campus (archival) access. There is no fee to submit.

Publishing to the Institutional Repository does not affect authorial copyright ownership. All embargo options will be honored.

Embargo options

An embargo is the ability to delay the release of a thesis or dissertation for a limited period of time, often due to pending patents, material within the work that cannot be released due to copyright, or a desire to publish all or part of the work in a journal or book.

Supplementary materials

Supplementary materials, such as the raw data underlying the research, should be uploaded during the submission to the ProQuest ETD Administrator process. The materials will be made available online with the thesis or dissertation in the Institutional Repository or available on a CD or DVD if a printed copy is requested.

Departmental copies

The thesis or dissertation may be archived by the department on a non-public server. In some departments, the author will have the option to post the thesis or dissertation on a publicly accessible internet site maintained by the department. Review the departmental handbook for more information.

University Libraries repository

ProQuest ETD Administrator website

The following documents must be submitted the College of Engineering Graduate School in additional to the uploaded submission of the dissertation:

• A pdf of the completed document
• A Signature Page, signed by the advisor(s) and Department Head(s)
• A Committee Page, signed by all committee members
• A Submission Checklist that confirms proper formatting of the document and copyright assertion decision

Signature page

Separate from the pdf of each thesis or dissertation must be a Signature Page and must follow the format specified for   regular degrees and joint degrees. The original signature page must be signed by the thesis or dissertation advisor(s), the department head, and the Dean or Associate Dean for Graduate and Faculty Affairs of the College of Engineering. Only one original signature page should accompany the thesis or dissertation submitted to the department head and Dean for review and approval.

Committee page

Separate from the pdf of each thesis or dissertation must be a Committee Page. The original Committee Page must be signed by all members of the committee for doctoral works and all readers for master’s works.

Submission checklist

Separate from the pdf of each thesis or dissertation must be a Submission Checklist . The Submission Checklist should be thoroughly reviewed to ensure all requirements for submission have been met. The Checklist must be completed and signed by the student.

Thesis submission checklist

Except as specifically superseded by directions from the candidate's major department and ProQuest, the general rules with respect to form shall follow those provided below. Some of the guidance is from K. L. Turabian,  A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Thesis and Dissertations,  8th Edition, University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 2013.

The preparation of the thesis and dissertation and copies are the student's responsibility unless departmental policies dictate otherwise.

Your title is the first thing your readers read. It should announce the topic and communicate the conceptual framework of the thesis or dissertation using keywords that provide information to both the reader and potential search algorithms.

Choose a single, readable and widely available typeface/font, such as Times New Roman, Arial or Helvetica. If using a less common typeface, embed the font in the electronic file. Avoid ornamental typefaces. In general, use at least ten-point or twelve-point font for the body of the text.

The first page of the pdf will be a title page. The title page of the dissertation should follow the format specified in the  template . Note that the title page must follow the template and not include additional information.

If the student asserts their copyright, then the second page of the pdf will be the copyright page, according to the template . If the student does not wish to assert copyright, then they must indicate that choice on the submission checklist page .

Acknowledgements page

All theses and dissertations must include an Acknowledgments section. This section is used to thank mentors and colleagues or name the individuals or institutions that supported your research or provided special assistance, such as consultation or aid. Acknowledge any owners of copyrighted materials that have granted you permission to reproduce their work. Describe all sources of funding from outside grants, fellowships, awards, or self-supported funding. For any grants, include the identifying number. Acknowledgment of the source(s) of support is important ethically in all research publications and presentations, including theses, to give the sponsors the recognition they deserve, and also to disclose publicly the organization or persons funding the research.

For doctoral submissions, the doctoral committee must also be listed in the Acknowledgments, and the chair of the committee must be identified.  The doctoral committee should not be listed on the title page.  

The abstract will be made available in the ProQuest Dissertations and Theses database (PQDT). Do not include footnotes, references, or unexplained abbreviations. There is no word limit on the abstract, however it should be concise.

Table of contents

The table of contents should include page references.

List of tables

Include titles and page references.

List of figures and illustrations

The body of the thesis or dissertation should be broken into the following sections:

• Introduction
• Main body— with larger divisions and more important minor divisions indicated by suitable, consistent headings
• Summary and conclusions— highlighting the key findings and conclusions of the work presented. For engineering and science theses and dissertations, this section often also includes recommendations for follow-up research.
• References— see below
• Appendices— each appendix should have a title and be listed in the Table of Contents

Each page in a thesis or dissertation should be assigned a number. The following plan of page numbering generally is accepted:

• Do not number the Title or Copyright Page , although these pages will be included in the page count
• Preliminaries : Use small Roman numerals (i, ii, iii, iv, etc.). The numbering begins with iii; the title page counts as page I and the copyright page as ii, but the number does not appear.
• Rest of the thesis or dissertation – the body of the thesis, including text, illustrations, appendices, and bibliography, use Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.). Each page must be numbered. Try to avoid use of letter suffixes such as 10a, 10b. The numbering begins with 1 and runs consecutively to the end of the dissertation.

If footnotes are needed, they should be placed at the bottom of the page below a 1.5-inch underscore (starting at the left border). The first line of each footnote should be indented 0.5 inches and identified by a raised numeral corresponding to that used in the test. Footnotes should be numbered consecutively throughout each chapter. 

Reproduction of data

The data on which the thesis or dissertation is based should be made accessible to the reader in substantially complete form. Generally, this means that raw data should be reproduced in a convenient manner in one or more appendices to the main document and made available in the Carnegie Mellon repository, on a website that will be supported by the advisor or department, or an external repository related to the pertinent field. In the case of extensive data gathered from readily available published sources, specific detailed citations will suffice, provided that that data is included in an Appendix of the document pdf, if available, or otherwise a stable url is included. Deviations from a procedure of full disclosure must be specifically approved by the M.S. thesis advisor(s) or Ph.D. Dissertation Committee and explained fully in the thesis or dissertation.  

Reproduction of materials

All instruments, analytic procedures, apparatus, or other critical elements in the execution of the study should be described in detail. Apparatus normally should be described in an engineering drawing and by photograph. Instruments normally should be reproduced in full in pictures or drawings, unless they are easily available from other sources. Procedures of analysis should be specified fully either by citation or by detailed discussion in one or more appendices. Computer calculations that are essential to the central arguments of the research must be fully and clearly explained. If the computer programs which provide the basis for these calculations are originated by the student, the student is required to provide a program listing and minimal documentation on the program in the thesis or dissertation.

The program listing and documentation normally would be included in a separate appendix to the thesis or dissertation. However, in the case of extensive computer work considered by the student and his or her advisor to be too long to include in the thesis or dissertation, a presentation in the form of tables elucidating important components is acceptable. In this case, the student is advised to submit a separate internal report giving further details. Standard subroutines or packaged programs that are routinely included as software support to a computer installation and which can be readily obtained are exempted from this requirement, but these should be clearly cited, and the source of these programs made apparent in the thesis. 

Citations of the professional literature should be standardized throughout the thesis or dissertation. The form of citation should be consistent with the form used in a standard professional journal of the candidates' field. The Harvard Citation Style is used commonly in engineering and science. The following journals are recommended as samples in each field of engineering:

• Biomedical Engineering— Annals of Biomedical Engineering, Journal of Biomechanical Engineering
• Chemical Engineering — Langmuir, Optimization and Engineering
• Civil and Environmental Engineering — ASCE journals, e.g., Journal of Environmental Engineering, Journal of Transportation Engineering.
• Electrical and Computer Engineering — Proceedings of the IEEE.
• Engineering and Public Policy — Science ,  Proceedings of the IEEE.
• Mechanical Engineering — Transactions of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
• Materials Science and Engineering — Metallurgical Transactions.

Thesis Proposal

Note: This article is partially based on the 2017-2018 MechE Graduate Student Guide (PDF) . Please check the latest guide for the most-up to date formatting requirements.

Criteria for Success

A strong thesis proposal…

• Motivates your project and introduces your audience to the state-of-the-art for the problem you’re working on.
• Explains the limitations in the current methods through literature review and/or original analysis. This should also explain why the limitations matter and why they’re the right ones to focus on.
• Clearly explains your technical approach to make specific improvements to some part of the field.
• Uses original analysis and literature to support the feasibility of the approach.
• Describes what is original about your work.
• Provides a practical outline for completing this research : a degree timeline laying out quantifiable hypotheses, experimental/numerical/theoretical techniques, and metrics for evaluation .

Structure Diagram

Meche-specific structure requirements.

Your thesis proposal should be limited to 6 pages including figures and references.

In addition, you need a cover page that (only) includes:

• tentative title of the thesis
• brief abstract
• committee chair and/or advisor should be indicated
• include their official titles, departmental affiliations, and email addresses

The purpose of your thesis proposal is to introduce your research plan to your thesis committee. You want the committee members to come away understanding what your research will accomplish, why it is needed ( motivation ), how you will do it ( feasibility & approach ), and most importantly, why it is worthy of a PhD ( significance ).

You intend to solve a real and important problem, and you are willing to dedicate years of your life to it, so use your proposal to get the committee excited about your research!

Analyze your audience

Unlike many of the papers and presentations you will write during graduate school, only a select few people will read your thesis proposal. This group will always include your PhD committee and your research advisor, and may include other interested MechE faculty or scientists and engineers at your funding source.

Therefore, you will typically have a good understanding of your audience before it is written. This can allow you to tailor your message to the technical level of your specific audience. If you aren’t sure what your audience could reasonably be expected to know, be conservative! Regardless, your audience is always looking to answer the questions: “ what is this research, how will you perform it, and why does it matter?”

While the small audience may make you less interested in committing time to your proposal, the exercise of motivating and justifying your work plan will be critical to your PhD.

Follow the standard structure for research proposals

While some variation is acceptable, don’t stray too far from the following structure. See also the Structure Diagram above.

• Introduction . Provide only the necessary information to motivate your research, and show how it fits into the broader field. What is the problem you are trying to solve? By the end of the introduction, your audience should understand the basics of what you will do and why you will do it.
• Background/Methodology . Describe the current state of the art and related research fields in sufficient technical detail. The goal is provide just enough detail to give the reader a sound understanding of the limitations and the need for new work. Do not go into detail that does not directly help in understanding your You are not trying to make your reader understand everything about the topic or demonstrate how much you know.
• Objectives . Although not strictly necessary, this section lets you summarize concrete goals of your work, and can help to serve as a checklist for yourself as you move through the process. This is best for projects that tackle many interrelated problems. Think of this as a list of concrete (quantifiable) goals that you want to accomplish.
• Proposed Work. Explain how your work will solve the problems that you have identified. How will you address the objectives above? Provide just enough technical specificity to leave the reader with a firm grasp of what you will do.
• Provide a set of time-structured goals and deliverables. While this is not strictly necessary, your committee will want a timeline when you meet with them, so it can help to start planning now. You want to graduate, so make sure that you have a plan to do so!
• This is a standard section listing references in an appropriate format (MLA, APA, etc.)

Consider the logical sequence of your sections. After the introduction, your audience should be intrigued by a key problem, and intrigued that you know how to solve it. Through the background, they learn that this problem is more difficult than they originally realized. Finally, in the proposed work they learn that your proposal addresses the additional complexity introduced in the background, and they have confidence that you can actually solve the problem.

Summarize the current research field

You need to have a strong grasp of the broader research community. How can you contribute, if you don’t know what is done and what needs to be done?

The point here is not to educate your audience, but rather to provide them with the tools needed to understand your proposal. A common mistake is to explain all of the research that you did to understand your topic and to demonstrate that you really know your field. This will bore your audience, who either already knows this information or does not see why they should care. It’s more important to show where current gaps are. Cut anything that doesn’t answer the what and why of what people are doing. Your depth of knowledge will come through in your thoughtful proposal.

Justify the significance of your work

Answer the question: “What happens if your work is successful?” Again, you are trying to convince your readers either to give you funding or to work with you for three (or more) years. Convince them that your project is worth it.

Your research doesn’t have to revolutionize your field, but you need to explain concretely how it will move your field forward. For example, “Successful development of the proposed model will enable high-fidelity simulation of boiling” is a specific and convincing motivation, compared to, “The field of boiling modeling must be transformed in order to advance research.”

Justify your research plan

Identify the steps needed to overcome your identified problem/limitation. Though your PhD will evolve over time, the tasks and timeline that you identify in your proposal will continue to help determine the trajectory of your research. A good plan now can save a lot of work a few years down the road.

A strong research plan answers three key questions:

• g., “In order to engineer material properties using mesoscopic defects, it is necessary to characterize the defects, measure how they affect material response, and identify techniques to reproducibly create the defects at specific sites within a material.”
• g., “In my PhD, I will focus on developing high-speed dynamic imaging techniques to characterize transient defect states in metallic nanowires. I will then use these techniques to measure the properties of nanowires fabricated with three different processes known to produce different defect structures.”
• How will you evaluate success in each step? These metrics should be concrete and measurable! Putting the thought into metrics now will make it easier for your committee (and yourself) to check a box and say ‘you can graduate.’

Each of these questions should be supported by details that reflect the current state of the art. Technical justification is critical to establish credibility for your plan. Reference the material that you introduced in the background section. You should even use your research plan to tailor your background section so that your committee knows just enough to believe what you’re claiming in your plan.

Based on the tasks and metrics in your plan, establish specific reflection points when you’ll revisit the scope of your project and evaluate if changes are needed.

Include alternative approaches

You won’t be able to predict all of the challenges you will encounter, but planning alternative approaches early on for major methods or decision points will prepare you to make better game-time decisions when you come up against obstacles. e.g.,

I will develop multi-pulse, femtosecond illumination for high speed imaging following Someone et al. Based on the results they have shown, I expect to be able to observe defect dynamics with micron spatial resolution and microsecond temporal resolution. If these resolutions are not achievable in the nanowire systems, I will explore static measurement techniques based on the work of SomeoneElse et al.

Delaying Publication

Delaying Electronic Publication of a Thesis or Dissertation

In some circumstances, a student may wish to delay the electronic publication of a thesis or dissertation. While the University generally promotes the publication of theses and dissertations as quickly as possible, it is recognized that under certain circumstances, a delay is warranted. These may include: when the student wishes to publish an article from the thesis or dissertation in a journal whose policy is not to publish material that has already been published electronically; when the student wishes to publish the thesis or dissertation with a publisher whose policy is not to publish material that has already been published electronically; or, when the student is in the process of applying for a patent on research contained in the thesis or dissertation and does not wish to disclose its contents until a patent application has been filed.

With approval from his or her thesis/dissertation advisor and program director, a student may delay publication of their thesis or dissertation for one or two years. Under no circumstances may publication be indefinitely or permanently delayed.

Reference/Citation Style for Theses

The Inamori School of Engineering uses the reference style of the American Chemical Society (ACS) for undergraduate and graduate theses.

For assistance with using the ACS style, or reference management software, ask your librarian .

ACS Style Quick Guide

There are several reference management software options available; either Zotero or EndNote is recommended:

Zotero is a free option. It is open-source and has plug-ins for Word, LibreOffice, and GoogleDocs.

EndNote is a paid product made available by Alfred University to AU students, faculty, and staff. The desktop version will need to be downloaded from the U:Drive.

U:Drive > Public > AU Libraries > Endnote

Journal Abbreviations

Some citation styles, especially in scientific or technical publications, use journal title abbreviations in the references list.

The CASSI search tool can be used to generate the abbreviated form of journal titles. The tool can also be used to look up an abbreviated title and determine the full name of the journal.

JournalSeek is another searchable database for journal information. It has more coverage for journals in the arts, humanities, etc. than CASSI.
