最终事件:
博士咨询委员会的组成:
Selection of a research advisor 和 formation of a Doctoral Advisory Committee constitute the first steps toward achieving a PhD. Selection of a doctoral advisor depends on the student’s level of preparation upon entering the PhD program. The Doctoral Advisory Committee selects the required coursework 和 guides the progress of the student’s dissertation research:

  • 具有硕士学位进入博士课程的学生.e., 必须修满30学分才能获得学位, 在第二学期结束前组成博士顾问委员会.
  • 学生进入该计划与学士学位,i.e., 必须修满60学分才能取得博士学位者, generally complete most of their coursework before forming their Doctoral Advisory Committee by the end of their fourth regular term in the program.

看到 研究生院政策02.28.11 以澄清博士咨询委员会的组成.

初步审查:
All students generally complete their didactic coursework prior to taking the preliminary examination. (见 研究生院政策02.27.11.) 30学分的学生通常在第三或第四学期参加考试. 60学分的学生通常不迟于第八学期参加考试. 学生必须注册一个学分 9994年梅伊 初试准备 在这个学期考试的时候.

The preliminary exam tests both the student’s core knowledge in Mechanical Engineering 和 their capacity to synthesize 和 interpret research communications. The student coordinates the scheduling of the preliminary exam with the ME 研究生 Program Director. 硕士研究生项目主任监督具体的表格, 机械工程初试的内容和频次. 学生最多有两次通过初试的机会. 在每学期尝试考试时,学生注册一个学分 9994年梅伊. 学生第二次不及格即被开除.

论文建议:
通过初试后, 学生必须编写一份书面研究计划,并在公开的学院研讨会上展示. The student must schedule the proposal ten business days prior to the presentation seminar 和 post an announcement. 紧接着研讨会结束, the Doctoral Advisory Committee will question the student about the details 和 strategy of their proposed research.

Approval is granted for the proposed dissertation research when the "Dissertation Proposal Transmittal for Elevation to C和idacy" form (found in TUportal under the Tools tab within "University Forms") has been signed off by the entire Doctoral Advisory Committee. After the dissertation proposal has been accepted by the Doctoral Advisory Committee 和 the 研究生 School has received the form, 这个学生被认为是博士候选人. (见 研究生院政策02.28.12 了解更多信息.)

研究认为:
Students carry out research throughout their studies 和 register for the corresponding research credits while in the PhD program. 然而, the type of research credits that a student registers for depends on the student’s progress in the program:

  • 在通过初试之前, 与学生研究相关的学时应注册在 9991年梅伊 指导研究.
  • 初试通过后, 但在晋升为候选人之前, 与学生研究相关的学时应注册在 9998年梅伊 Pre-Dissertation研究.
  • 升格为候选人后,学生的研究学分应根据 9999年梅伊 论文研究. 学生必须注册至少三个学分 9999年梅伊 在他们晋升为候选人之后. (见 研究生院政策02.28.15.)

出版物:
Paper writing 和 presentation at a conference are considered integral to the student's training. 也, 同行评审, 在某种程度上, 提供学生研究的质量和新颖性的指标. All doctoral students must publish at least two technical papers in refereed journals or refereed conferences. The papers must be based on the student's dissertation research with the student as the first author.

论文:
The dissertation defense is an open University seminar in which the student presents the concepts 和 results of their research.

The student must coordinate the formation of the Dissertation Examining Committee in the term that they intend to defend their dissertation. This committee consists of the original Doctoral Advisory Committee plus one additional "external" member who is not faculty in the College of Engineering. 如果外部考官不是PG电子试玩平台研究生院的成员, the person must be approved by the 研究生 School at least four weeks prior to the dissertation defense.

论文答辩是在一个正常的学术学期(如.e.(不安排在学习日、期末考试或学期间的休息时间). 如果学生毕业于同一学期的论文答辩举行, then the defense should take place at least 30 days prior to the end of the term to allow for document revisions.

在答辩前三周, 委员会成员选举学位论文审查委员会主席. 主席不能是学生的博士指导老师. 研究和研究生院副院长必须批准选择. The Chair is identified to the 研究生 School in the student’s official request for permission to schedule the defense. (见 研究生院政策02.28.15.) The Chair’s role includes coordination of the proceedings of the defense 和 completion of all relevant College 和 研究生 School forms concerning the defense.

论文文件应以符合大学标准的格式准备. (见 研究生院政策02.28.18.) A copy of the completed dissertation must be provided to the committee at least three weeks before the date of the dissertation defense. Note that any 研究生 教师 may request a copy of the dissertation in advance of the defense 和 may participate in the defense.

A minimum of two weeks prior to the defense, a public announcement of the defense must be posted. 在发布之前,本公告必须得到研究生院的书面批准. (见 研究生院政策02.28.16.)

在演讲结束后, the Dissertation Examining Committee closely examines the student’s performance 和 their research. External attendees may participate in this closed portion of the defense with the permission of the Dissertation Examining Committee Chair. 然而, only members of the Dissertation Examining Committee may actually vote on the decision to accept the dissertation as prepared, 接受论文的修订, 或者不接受论文. 如果论文被接受与修订, a revised copy of the dissertation must be submitted 和 approved by the Committee within 30 days of the original defense date.
