Patents and Thesis Holds

You must go through the TLO or DUE in order to get a thesis hold.

  • If you share ownership of the patent with MIT, then complete a Technology Licensing Office (TLO) disclosure form. For more information: http://web.mit.edu/tlo/www/community/students.html
  • If you requesting that MIT waive the right to your patent (the form for this is also on the link above), you can request a thesis hold from the Dean of Undergraduate Education. A request for a thesis hold must be made jointly by the student and advisor, using the DUE Thesis Hold Request Form, which you can download from the DUE website. For more information: http://due.mit.edu/faqs/frequently-asked-questions#Thesis_Hold

General Information

The SB in Mechanical Engineering requires a thesis with a minimum of 6 units credit. The objective of this requirement is to give students an opportunity to learn about a topic in depth through independent study under the guidance of an advisor who is knowledgeable in the field.

The nature of the work may be the review of an engineering topic of interest to the student, an original research project, or a design project. In any case, the work must involve additional learning of a substantive nature. The work must be documented by a thesis document graded by the advisor. With the approval of the advisor, up to 15 units of credit are permitted.

Finding a Thesis Supervisor

Students have the responsibility to find their own thesis supervisor, and it is best that this be done by the beginning of the senior year. Your thesis supervisor should be an MIT faculty member (not necessarily MechE), or an approved MechE lab instructor or researcher. Many students develop theses from UROP projects that they have had during the junior year or summer between junior and senior years. In that case, the UROP supervisor becomes the thesis supervisor. In other cases, students will contact faculty members whose research is of interest to them, and a thesis project can be developed by discussion between the student and the faculty member. In still other cases, students may have their own clear idea of the subject of their thesis, and the task will be to find a faculty member who is interested in working with the student on that topic.

The thesis advisor of record must be an MIT faculty member or select members of the research staff (graduate students and postdocs are ineligible to act as thesis advisors). Students who are looking for an appropriate thesis advisor should consult the Undergraduate Office (Room 1-110). Theses may be done off campus, but students are cautioned that off-campus supervisors usually are not familiar with the thesis requirements which may put the student at risk when seeking approval of the Department. Also, work done at an industrial firm may be considered proprietary by the firm which would prevent the student from submitting the thesis to the Department. In such cases, a representative of the firm must sign a release letter, a sample text of which is available at the MechE Undergraduate Office.

You can search MechE faculty by topic areas. 

Thesis Registration and Grading

Students may elect to start and/or finish the work in the Fall Term, the Spring Term, or IAP, and they may choose to extend the work over several terms. In the latter case, a progress report is required for each term of registration. If the work in progress is judged satisfactory by the advisor, a grade of "J" will be awarded. Unsatisfactory progress will be awarded the grade "U". Students must be registered for subject 2.ThU for the term in which the thesis is submitted.

Before registering for thesis, students must complete the thesis proposal form and attach a brief paragraph summarizing the work planned. (The form is available on the "download forms" page in this web site.) The form must be signed by the thesis advisor and returned to the MechE Undergraduate Office (Room 1-110). In the event of a change of advisor or project, the proposal must be updated in the Undergraduate Office as soon as possible. Students who submit the completed forms on or before Registration Day may register for 2.ThU on the Registration Form for the number of units agreed upon with the thesis advisor. Students who complete the thesis proposal after Registration Day, but before the Add Date, must add 2.ThU by submitting to the Registrar a completed Add/Drop Form signed by both the thesis supervisor and the student's faculty advisor. Drop date is the absolute deadline for adding or dropping 2.ThU. Students may not register for the thesis after the drop date.

At mid-term, the thesis advisor will be asked for an assessment of the student's progress on the thesis. Thus, it is important for the student to maintain contact with the advisor so that an accurate assessment can be made. If the thesis advisor judges progress to be unsatisfactory, a grade of "U" will be submitted and the number of units for 2.ThU registration will be reduced to 1. The grade of "U" will remain on the transcript and the Course 2 degree requirements cannot be completed until another thesis is started and completed with a passing grade. Students who are making satisfactory progress but fail to complete the thesis by the Thesis Due Date will receive the grade "J" indicating that at least one additional unit of registration for 2.ThU will be required to complete the Course 2 degree. Upon satisfactory completion of the thesis, the thesis advisor will assign a grade which will apply to all units of 2.ThU registration from previous terms, up to an absolute limit of 15. For thesis credit during IAP, students should register during the first week of IAP in the Undergraduate Office.

During the semester in which the student expects to graduate , it is the responsibility of the student to maintain contact with the thesis advisor. In the event that thesis progress is reported as unsatisfactory, the student's name will be removed from the Degree List. Students are reminded that graduation also can be delayed by late submission of an acceptable thesis or by submission of a thesis that fails to conform to the current Thesis Specifications. Theses may not be submitted after 5:00 PM on the Thesis Due Date.

Consult the MIT Academic Calendar for Add Date, Drop Date, and Thesis Due Dates for the semester in question .

Thesis Submission

Be sure to submit a draft version of your thesis to your thesis supervisor well before the thesis due date. Your thesis supervisor may have edits for you to incorporate into your final thesis. One copy of the final thesis must be submitted to the Undergraduate Office in 1-110.

1. Be sure that the thesis meets the library’s published thesis specifications, published online here

2. Pay special attention to the title page and abstract page – examples are provided online.

The term in which you plan to defend, submit your dissertation, and graduate, you must be registered for Thesis (4.THG - 36 units). Your dissertation defense takes place in the presence of your full Dissertation Committee consisting of at least three members including your dissertation supervisor.

Upon satisfactory defense and submission of the dissertation, the supervisor will assign a grade. ("SA" is the final satisfactory grade for PhD.) The grade will not be submitted to the Registrar until the final approved dissertation document is submitted to the department portal by the thesis deadline provided on the departmental thesis deadlines calendar. For help with formatting of your full document, see the Formatting, Specifications & Thesis Submission page for more information.

You are responsible for working directly with your dissertation committee and area administrators to schedule your defense. The defense must not be scheduled for any later than two weeks prior to the thesis submission deadline. Each area may handle the logistics differently, so it is important to touch base with your group early in the defense planning process. For example, many faculty are not available during winter holidays or summer session, and may wish to schedule the defense early in December for a February degree.

Key Registration Dates

Registering for classes, cross registration, independent study, credit for travel/ research/ internships, registration.

Register for classes on WebSIS. View a full list of deadlines on  MIT Registrar's Academic Calendar . 

Pre-registration 

Pre-registration Instructions  (for Continuing Students)

Students pre-register in May for summer and fall and in December for IAP and spring. All continuing students are expected to pre-register online through WebSIS for the upcoming term(s). A student who has not completed pre-registration by the noted deadline on the Registrar’s Academic Calendar and registration by the end of the first week of the term will be assessed a late fee. Subjects selected during pre-registration are noted on the student’s online Registration Form approximately one week prior to Registration Day.

Department of Architecture subject offerings and descriptions are available to help students choose courses. The MIT Subject Listing and Schedule which is updated regularly on the Registrar’s Office website, provides information on subjects outside of the Department of Architecture.

Registration Day

Registration Instructions

Fall Registration Day is Tuesday, September 7, 2021 and Registration Week for Spring begins Monday, January 24, 2022. Student advisor assignments are available on WebSIS, the Registrar’s student information system, under Academic Record / Status of Registration. MIT students register online and may access their registration forms the week prior to Registration Day.

The form is populated with the pre-registered subject selections entered by the pre-registration deadline. The digital registration form will need to be approved by the advisor (registration officer) prior to the registration deadline, which is the Friday following Registration Day. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure the form is properly submitted by the registration deadline to avoid a late fee. Architecture students must meet with your advisor or registration officer on Registration Day or on another appointed date prior to the registration deadline.

“Awaiting Approval” means subject selection is in progress. At this point, you or your advisor may edit your subject selections. Arrange to meet with your academic advisor (registration officer) on or before Registration Day to discuss your selections.

Once you have met and your advisor has “Approved” the selections on your online form, you will no longer be able to edit your subject selections. You will then receive an email notifying you of your need to complete the registration process by submitting, which requires additional steps only you have access to. Once you have clicked the “Submit” button, your registration is complete. If you are on a “registration hold,” you will NOT be able to submit until the hold is cleared. Fines may be assessed if your registration remains incomplete beyond the registration deadline. If you have any questions about the process or the online registration system, please or email [email protected] .

Adding/ Dropping Classes

After a student submits Online Registration, all further requests to add, drop, change units, and change subject registration status are made via the Online Add/Drop application . Email notifications will be sent to instructors (where appropriate) and advisors when a student requests approval for a registration change. Instructors and advisors can approve or deny the request or request a consultation with the student to discuss the change. The student is responsible for the final submittal of all approved changes.

Students will have until 11:59pm on Add/Drop Date to submit approved changes that are due on each date (the system will not accept submittals after that time). It is strongly recommended that students request approval well ahead of the Add/Drop deadlines so that approvers have time to enter a decision ( more information).

Non-Registered Students

Failure to complete registration by the end of the second week of the term will result in the loss of student status, and for international students, the loss of their visa status. As determined by the Department Committee on Graduate Students, and consistent with the policy of the MIT Registrar, a Course 4 graduate student who has not registered by the Add Date (end of fifth week) of an academic term will not be permitted to register at all in that term.

The Department will disallow access to departmental space and resources and will cancel that student's departmental employment, if any, after the fifth week of the term. No retroactive academic credit or retroactive payment will be awarded for departmental work done in the term in which the student is barred from registration.

Term of Graduation

All students, graduate and undergraduate, must file a degree application at the start of the term in which they plan to graduate. This is done online at WebSIS. Applications for advanced degrees must be submitted with working thesis titles. The deadline for finalizing the title falls near the end of term. For specifics, consult the Academic Calendar .

Undergraduates must ensure that all General Institute Requirements (GIRs) as well as departmental requirements have been satisfied by the end of the term in which they intend to graduate. The website for graduating students contains a complete checklist and calendar of deadlines. Students who have questions regarding their eligibility to graduate may contact their advisor or the degree administrator.

Petitions are required when:

  • a student wants to add or drop a subject after the Institute deadline
  • to correct errors in registration after Add Date
  • to change an Incomplete to a letter grade after the Add Date deadline (graduate students only)
  • Complete an incomplete subject from a prior semester or year (graduate students only)
  • Request approval for retroactive actions in unusual circumstances
  • to apply for a dual degree

The petition process for graduate students and undergraduate students is different:

  • Undergraduate students will need to submit a Committee on Academic Performance (CAP) petition form for all reasons except application for a double major. The application to pursue a double major should be submitted to the Committee on Curricula (COC).
  • Graduate students complete the Graduate Student Petition . Completed petitions should be submitted to Headquarters, 7-337, for directions on processing.

English Proficiency

As prerequisite for registration, each graduate student who has indicated that English is not his or her first language must take the English Evaluation Test (EET). The EET is a three-hour test consisting of listening, writing, and reading components, supplemented by an individual conference for each student with an ESL staff or faculty member. It is required even if the TOEFL has been taken and passed with an acceptable score.

The Department requires that students take the English subject suggested as a result of the English Evaluation Test (EET) and continue in the English as a Second Language (ESL) series thereafter to completion. Instructors in ESL will be available for consultation on Registration Day — more information ,

The English Evaluation Test is a requirement of the Graduate School; it is a diagnostic test and is given before the fall and spring terms. Results will help students, advisors and the Department to assess what skills, if any, are needed to review in order to benefit most fully from MIT. The students and advisors will receive the results via email before Registration Day.

Generally those who score significantly above 600 (250/computer-based; 100/internet-based) on the TOEFL require minimal work in English language writing skills. Those who score in the low 600s usually require additional help in grammar and writing skills.

Students may not defer registration in any English grammar review subject recommended as a result of the EET. Students must enroll in the English subject recommended as a result of the EET, and must complete the sequence of ESL subjects as follows:

  • 21G.224, Listening, Speaking and Pronunciation (ELS)
  • 21G.219, Workshop in Written Expression (ELS)
  • 21G.227, Advanced Workshop in Writing for Social Sciences and Architecture (ELS)

Registration in required ESL subjects should be completed by the end of the first year. Registration in 21G.227, the advanced level writing for social scientists and architects subject, should be completed prior to Thesis registration.

Required English subjects do not count for unit credit toward any degree in the Department of Architecture; grades received in English subjects do, however, appear on the students' records.

Consultation with ESL Instructors

Instructors in English as a Second Language will be available for consultation on Registration Day. Instructors are:

Full-time MIT sophomores, juniors, seniors and graduate students may take subjects for credit at Harvard University. No more than half (49%) of the total units for a term may be taken at other institutions. Students who cross-register should not include subjects from other institutions on their MIT Registration forms; there are separate cross-registration process for each institution with which MIT has a cross-registration program.

MIT's deadline for completing cross-registration is Add Date. It is important to be aware of the differing deadlines imposed by the other institutions because they may be earlier than the MIT deadline. The earliest deadline applies. Students’ MIT academic records will show grades for these subjects. Cross-registered subjects are dropped using the MIT add/drop application . See more detailed information about cross-registration .

Harvard Cross Registration

Students may cross-register at Harvard ONLY after registering at MIT. The student goes to MIT's online add/drop application .  In the add section, enter a search term or Harvard subject number in the "Add Harvard Subject" field. Once the dropdown display populates, select the desired subject and proceed with the usual add subject process.

Clicking the "Submit for Approval" button will automatically send the information to Harvard when the instructor will approve. Once the approval is given, the information is sent back to MIT and your advisor will receive notification to approve the add request in the MIT add/drop system. Once the approval is given, the student will need to submit the approved Harvard add to the MIT Registrar the same as for any other add request.

Full-time MIT sophomores, juniors, seniors may not cross-register for classes at the Harvard Business School, Harvard Extension School, or Harvard Law School.

Wellesley Cross Registration

MIT undergraduate students are able to cross-register at Wellesley College during the fall and spring terms only.

Massachusetts College of Art and Design Cross Registration

Undergraduate students are only allowed to register for one subject per term at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design . All subjects are graded pass/fail and cannot be used to fulfill Institute, department or minor requirements.

Cross-Registration Guidelines for Massachusetts College of Art and Design and can be found on the Art, Culture and Technology program's website (forms available there).

As you advance in your program, you may need to explore topics in greater depth on an individual basis. If there is a member of the Architecture faculty willing to supervise this course of study, prepare a proposal and submit it to that faculty member as an independent study. Students who wish to do an independent study in a different department must secure a subject number with which to register in that department.

Requirements

Students should submit a proposal to the supervisor that includes:

  • A statement of the intellectual goal of the project
  • An explanation of the relation of the proposed endeavor to the student’s overall educational goal
  • A plan for approaching the intellectual problem 
  • A statement of the expected deliverables and their evaluation 
  • A statement of the amount of time to be expended in the effort (a timetable of deliverables)

Before registering for an independent study subject, a student must obtain an appropriate subject number from the degree administrator in the department’s headquarters (Room 7-337) using an Independent Study Project Form (save to computer or device before completing form  — file is a fillable PDF). The subject must be added to the student’s registration using the online Add/Drop application.

The following information is required to complete the form:

  • Student’s name, department of major, MIT ID number and e-mail address 
  • Subject level (graduate or undergraduate) 
  • Grading system (grade or pass/fail, to be determined by the supervisor) 
  • Credit units to be earned, based on the duration and effort to be expended (generally 6, 9 or 12) 
  • A proposal 
  • Signature of project supervisor

Pay close attention to your Status of Registration posted on WebSIS after the second week. Notify the degree administrators if you find errors or have questions.

IAP and Summer Course Work

To receive unit credit, a travel/study program must be organized and led by a member of the Department faculty and approved by the Department Head before the travel occurs. Registration is in the fall term for traveling subjects offered during the summer term, and in the spring term if traveling during IAP. The maximum number of units possible in IAP is 12. Travel/study preceding or following and part of a regular subject (studio or workshop) earns no additional unit credit.

Credit fulfilling any MArch curriculum requirement other than free elective must be approved in advance by the appropriate member of the MArch Program Committee.

NOTE: This policy applies to group travel/study opportunities. It is not meant to afford academic credit for individual/general student travel.

Practical Experience Internship

The Department will academically support practical experience internships for professional, full-time work performed by a current MIT Architecture student, in an architectural, engineering, landscape architecture, or planning office, or directly related to an art, architecture or building technology project for Course 4 students. 

Deadlines for IAP/ Summer Course Work 2021-2022

Internship Instructions

All students (u.s. citizens and international students).

  • Secure a job prior to applying for credit.
  • Submit the approved application form by either emailing a scan of the form (with advisor signature) to Tonya Miller or dropping off a printout of the application (with advisor signature) to 7-344A or 7-337 (Architecture main office).
  • Summer tuition is charged by the unit. More information on tuition can be found on the  Registrar’s website . IAP tuition is considered part of the previous fall tuition.
  • Have your employer complete and return the Practical Experience Internship Employer Evaluation Form  directly to Tonya Miller, immediately prior to completion of your internship. You may not provide the evaluation form yourself. The awarding of required academic credit and grade will be largely based on the evaluation from your employer.

Summary of Required Documents

  • Department Application Form signed by your advisor (provide to Department)
  • Employer-provided Department Evaluation Form due after completion of internship (provide to Department)

Additional Required Documents for International Students:

  • Department letter template: IAP / Summer signed by your advisor on letterhead (return a copy of the signed letter to Department and original letter to ISO)
  • Copy of job offer letter —  see sample  (provide to ISO)
  • Copy of the  I-94 admission record  and passport identify page that includes expiration information (provide to ISO)

Internships for international students

Important updates.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security specifies a date range within which employment can occur for international students. The earliest and latest dates allowed for internships authorized by CPT for 2021 are:

  • IAP 2022: December 18, 2021 - January 28, 2022
  • Summer 2022: May 19 - August 20, 2022

If you must extend your internship beyond this time frame, you will need to also apply for  OPT . Please note that processing time for OPT applications can take as long as 3-4 months, so plan accordingly.

International students must supply ISO with a copy of the job offer letter from the organization or company. It must include specific information as referenced in this  sample letter .

Requirements for International Students' Application for  CPT

  • You must be in legal F-1 visa status for one full academic year  before you may participate in Curricular Practical Training (CPT).
  • If you have reached your degree unit requirement for your degree program by the end of the term prior to your internship, you are ineligible for Curricular Practical Training (CPT) and must apply for  OPT . Please note that you must apply much earlier for OPT — 3-4 months lead time is required.
  • If the time frame of your internship extends outside of the parameters of the MIT term (summer or January IAP), you will need to also apply for OPT. You may be able to combine both CPT and OPT in the same summer; check with the MIT International Students Office.
  • Department HQ will provide the ISO-required letter on Departmental letterhead — please work with your advisor to provide the indicated information in the template ( IAP or Summer ),   You must send the letter back to Paul Pettigrew (IAP) or Tonya Miller (summer) for approval — Note that the advisor does not sign the letter until it has been approved by the Department. Additionally, you must provide the Department with a copy of the signed letter — hard copy or emailed scan. This letter is kept on file in the instance of a government official’s request.
  • A copy of the job offer letter  from the organization or company —  see sample letter  (note that this letter is separate from the letter signed by your advisor referenced above).
  • A copy of the  I-94 admission record  and passport identity page with expiration information.

It is critical that International students register and receive a grade and credit for 4.190. Failure to do so will mean you have been working in the US illegally.

MIT BE Graduate Student Handbook

Registration

Registration procedures.

  • Research Progress Report (20.950/THG)

Time to Graduation

First year graduate students are assigned an academic advisor for that first year in the doctoral program. Academic advisors meet with first year students who have questions regarding long-term academic plans and requirements for the graduate Program.

Continuing graduate students must pre-register on-line using WEBSIS during May for the summer and fall academic semester and in December for the spring academic semester. Complete as much information as possible and submit the form by the published deadlines; addition and /or deletions can be taken care of on Registration Day.

Prior to Registration Day (fall and spring terms of the first year), the student’s subject selection must first be approved by the advisor before the Graduate Officer can authorize registration on Registration Day. Advisor approval should also be obtained for any subsequent subject add/drop actions during the term (no additional authorization by the Graduate Officer is required).

All registration material must be approved and signed off by the BE Registration Officer online (WEBSIS). An online Add/Drop form must be filed for all changes after registration day.

Credit Unit Requirement

There is a total credit unit requirement of 40 for doctoral students. Students registering for a thesis degree must specify a minimum of one credit unit each semester, but typically, the credit units are adjusted to yield a total load of 36 credit units for BE graduate students. International students must be registered for at least 36 units to be considered full-time to maintain their Visa status.

All students must register for the following subjects for every fall and spring semester:

  • 20.200 Biological Engineering Student Seminars (3 units)
  • 20.S952 Biological Engineering Speaker Series (1 unit)

Research (20.950) and Thesis (20.THG) units may be adjusted to yield a total of 36 credit units for any given semester. Please note that thesis and research units may not be used to satisfy program coursework requirements.

Example registration guide

Below is a typical schedule for a member of the graduate program. Many requirements, such as 20.960 Teaching Experience and 20.951 Thesis Proposal, can be fulfilled in different semesters than those shown, but must only be taken once.

Second Year

Fourth year +, research progress updates (20.950/20.thg).

Students must complete the Research Progress Report (more information on the Coursework page) updates with their advisor(s) at the end of each semester to receive a grade in 20.950 and/or 20.THG.

The Registration Officer and the Graduate Program Committee are charged with ensuring that each student is making adequate progress in his or her graduate program. The Registration Officer is expected to oversee the student’s course work, so that adequate progress toward the student’s goals is being made. The Graduate Program Committee monitors the length of time taken for a degree.

  • At the beginning of the eleventh regular academic semester (start of 6th year), the student should expect to receive a message from the Chair of the Graduate Committee requiring a written evaluation of progress and a timetable for the completion of the degree requirements from the student and research supervisor.
  • After thirteen regular academic semesters the Chair of the Graduate Program Committee will usually ask the Dean of the Graduate School to issue a formal warning threatening loss of registration if the doctoral degree is not completed during the next regular academic semester.

The above listed time requirements must of course be interpreted in such a way as to allow for differences between students and differences between thesis projects. Changes in thesis topics and/or advisor, a hiatus in research support, disability, or parental responsibilities are just several of a number of good reasons why a student may take longer than average to complete a degree. The Graduate Program Committee will consider such mitigating circumstances very carefully before taking action.
