HIST-255
History of World War II
3 Credits
This course will cover the military, diplomatic, political, social, and cultural history of World War II. It will focus on the causes of the war, the battles that decided the war, the leaders (civilian and military) who made the key decisions, and how the war changed society. The purpose of the course is to acquaint students with the political, social, economic, military, and cultural history of WWII and that conflict's impact upon our own era.
ISEE-599
Independent Study
0 - 4 Credits
A supervised investigation within an industrial engineering area of student interest. Professional elective.
ISEE-698
Part-time Graduate Co-op
0 Credits
One semester of paid part-time work experience in the field of industrial engineering or sustainable engineering. See the graduate program coordinator or RIT’s Office of Cooperative Education for further details.
ISEE-699
Graduate Co-op
0 Credits
One semester of paid full-time work experience in the field of industrial engineering or sustainable engineering. See the graduate program coordinator or RIT’s Office of Cooperative Education for further details.
ISEE-788
Project with Paper
3 Credits
This course is used by students as a capstone experience. The student must demonstrate an acquired competence in a topic that is chosen in conference with a faculty advisor. The work may involve a research and/or design project with demonstration of acquired knowledge. A written paper and an oral presentation of the work are required.
ISEE-790
Thesis
1 - 6 Credits
In conference with a faculty adviser, an independent engineering project or research problem is selected. The work may be of a theoretical and/or computational nature. A state-of-the-art literature search in the area is normally expected. A formal written thesis and an oral defense with a faculty thesis committee are required. Submission of bound copies of the thesis to the library and to the department and preparation of a written paper in a short format suitable for submission for publication in a refereed journal are also required. Approval of department head and faculty adviser needed to enroll.
ISEE-799
Independent Study
1 - 3 Credits
This course is used by students who plan to study a topic on an independent study basis. The student must obtain the permission of the appropriate faculty member before registering for the course. Students registering for more than four credit hours must obtain the approval of both the department head and the adviser.
MTSE-777
Graduate Project
1 - 4 Credits
This course is a capstone project using research facilities available inside or outside of RIT.

Faculty compensation is focus of NSF-sponsored research
To build understanding of faculty compensation systems and improve conversations around salary, several RIT faculty members are sharing their experiences with a National Science Foundation-funded multidisciplinary research team. The team’s goal is to significantly expand knowledge of best practices for faculty compensation to a broader community in higher education and provide insights to guide compensation practices.
