Preparing for the Qualifying Exam

Before the qualifying exam students are required to submit their thesis prospectus of up to 8 pages excluding figures and references according to the Electrical Engineering Department Guidelines. Students should go over this document carefully to understand the requirements, format and purpose of the exam. At this time, the students should also:

• Poll the committee members for a suitable day and time
• Coordinate with the appropriate department secretary to make conference room reservations
• Inform the Registrar (Cara Gibilisco) about the exam: Name, Department, Title, Committee Members, Date, Time & Place
• Submit their prospectus to the committee 1 week before the exam

The specific instructions for the exam can be found here.

Formatting Recommendations

The document should include the prefix "Dissertation Prospectus" in the title, followed by the title. It is also advisable that all the students follow the same format.

Here is a good example of formatting: Deokwoo Jung's Prospectus
