thorized by the supervisory committee or program adviser. Major courses

 DEGREE CREDIT.-In order to qualify for course work toward the Master
of Engineering degree, a student must first be admitted to the Graduate School
at the University of Florida. The amount of course work toward this degree
that may be taken at an off-campus center will depend upon the student's
individual program and the courses provided through the center.
 EXAMINATIONS.-A student seeking the Master of Engineering degree
with or without thesis is required to pass a comprehensive oral or written
examination at the completion of his course work. A student who takes
less than half his course work on the Gainesville campus will be required
to pass a comprehensive written examination administered on the University
of Florida campus by an examining committee recommended by the Dean
of the College of Engineering and appointed by the Dean of the Graduate
School. At least one member of the examining committee must be either
the student's program adviser or a member of his supervisory committee.
If a minor is taken, another member must be chosen from outside the major
department to represent the student's minor.
 Examination requirements for the Master of Science degree are covered
 in the preceding section under Master of Arts and Master of Science.
