Starting the ProgramWhen accepted into the program, the student’s first contact is with the electrical engineering principal graduate adviser. At this initial meeting, a review will be made of the student’s status in the program and the student will be required to provide a tentative program of study within the first semester. Such a program should reflect the prerequisite courses that have been prescribed and that may have to be taken prior to taking courses for graduate credit.The most immediate concern is for the courses to be taken in the first semester. The principal graduate adviser will help the student select those initial courses. Within the first semester, the student will be assigned an academic adviser who will be the primary contact for the student until the student graduates under the non-thesis option. If the student decides to follow the thesis option, a thesis adviser will replace the academic adviser. In either case, it is the responsibility of the student to devise, after consultation with their advisers, a program of study using the degree requirements worksheet and the course planning worksheet. This should be submitted to the graduate officer, usually by the end of the second semester. The master’s committee is in charge of handling procedural issues related to the M.S. program in electrical engineering. Any request for exception to the rules should be handled as described below related to petitioning procedures.
