Overview
Education
Students in the Electrical and Computer Engineering program at the University of California, San Diego must pass the Preliminary Examination by the end of their second year of graduate study. To ensure timely progress in their research, students are strongly encouraged to identify a faculty member willing to supervise their doctoral research by the end of their first year of study.
Students should begin defining and preparing for their thesis research as soon as they have passed the Preliminary Examination. They should plan on taking the University Qualifying Examination about one year later. At the Qualifying Examination, students will give an oral presentation on research accomplishments to date and the thesis proposal to a campus-wide committee.
The committee will decide if the work and proposal have adequate content and a reasonable chance for success. They may require that the student modify the proposal and may require a further review.
