GE645

GE645 is a course code used by several universities to designate a graduate-level course within engineering departments. The exact meaning of GE645 varies by institution, but it typically refers to an advanced seminar, independent study, or capstone-style course intended for master's or doctoral students. The course commonly emphasizes research literacy, exposure to current topics in the field, and a substantial project or written report.

Content and topics vary by department but may include advanced numerical methods, optimization and systems engineering, data-driven modeling, machine learning for engineering, sustainability, or domain-specific topics within civil, electrical, mechanical, or chemical engineering. The common thread is an emphasis on critical analysis, literature review, and project-based work.

Structure and assessment also differ by institution. GE645 is often a 3- or 4-credit course. Assessment typically includes a combination of an independent project or thesis component, a written report, and an oral presentation or seminar. Prerequisites usually include completion of core graduate coursework and approval of the supervising faculty member or department.

Variations exist in how GE645 is offered. Some universities treat it as a special topics or research-credit course with sections (for example GE645A, GE645B) or as a tailored study plan within a graduate program. The exact catalog description and requirements are published by each institution.
