32 degree program will, in general, take such courses as deficiency courses. A candidate is required to maintain a grade-point average of at least 3.0. A student who, at the end of any term, has not attained the grade-point average required for the degree may be asked to withdraw. At least 30 points of credit of graduate work beyond the M.S. degree, or 60 points of graduate work beyond the B.S. degree, are required for the professional degree. The final 30 points required for the professional degree must be completed in no more than five years. Doctoral Degrees: Eng.Sc.D. and Ph.D. Two doctoral degrees in engineering are offered by the University: the Doctor of Engineering Science, administered by The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, and the Doctor of Philosophy, administered by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. The Eng.Sc.D. and Ph.D. programs have identical academic requirements with regard to courses, thesis, and examinations, but differ in residence requirements and in certain administrative details. Doctoral students may submit a petition to the Office of Graduate Student Services to change from the Eng.Sc.D. degree to the Ph.D. degree or from the Ph.D. degree to the Eng.Sc.D. degree. The petition must be submitted within the first year of enrollment or by the completion of 30 points. Any petitions submitted after this period will not be considered. Doctoral degree status can be changed only once; students, therefore, must determine which doctoral degree program is most appropriate for their academic and professional endeavors. Requirements for the Degrees A student must obtain the master’s degree (M.S.) before enrolling as a candidate for either the Ph.D. or Eng. Sc.D. degree. Application for admission as a doctoral candidate may be made while a student is enrolled as a master’s degree candidate. The minimum requirement in course work for either doctoral degree is 60 points of credit beyond the bachelor’s degree. Candidates for the Ph.D. degree must register full time and complete six Residence Units. A master’s degree from an accredited institution may be accepted in the form of advanced standing as the equivalent of one year of residence (30 points of credit or two Residence Units) for either doctoral degree. An application for advanced standing must be completed during the first semester of study. Candidates for the Eng.Sc.D. degree must (in addition to the 60-point requirement) accumulate 12 points of credit in the departmental course E9800: Doctoral research instruction. A holder of the professional degree who wishes to continue work toward the Eng.Sc.D. degree will be required to complete not less than 30 additional points of credit in residence. All doctoral programs are subject to review by the Committee on Instruction of the School. In no case will more than 15 points of credit be approved for the dissertation and research and studies directly connected therewith without special approval by this Committee. Normally, a doctoral candidate specializes in a field of interest acceptable to a department of the School. Departmental requirements may include comprehensive written and oral qualifying examinations. Thereafter, the student must write a dissertation embodying original research under the sponsorship of a member of his or her department and submit it to the department. If the department recommends the dissertation for defense, the student applies for final examination, which is held before an examining committee appointed by the Dean. This application must be made at least three weeks before the date of the final examination. A student must have a satisfactory grade-point average to be admitted to the doctoral qualifying examination. Consult the department requirements for details. The candidate for the degree of Doctor of Engineering Science must submit evidence that his or her dissertation has been filed in compliance with requirements set by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. The defense of the dissertation constitutes the final test of the candidate’s qualifications. It must be demonstrated that the candidate has made a contribution to knowledge in a chosen area. In content the dissertation should, therefore, be a distinctly original contribution in the selected field of study. In form it must show the mastery of written English which is expected of a university graduate. Ph.D. candidates should obtain a copy of the bulletin of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, in which are printed the faculty requirements for the Ph.D. degree. These are supplemented by the requirements of the department of major interest Doctoral Research Instruction In order that the University may recover the costs that are not defrayed by the University’s income from tuition, charges for research required for the Eng.Sc.D. are assessed as given below. Ph.D. candidates should consult the bulletin of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences for the research instruction requirements that apply to them. An Eng.Sc.D. candidate is required to do the following: 1. At the time the student begins doctoral research, the student is eligible to register for E9800 (3, 6, 9, or 12 points of credit). Twelve points must have been accumulated by the time the student is to receive the degree. 2. Registration for E9800 at a time other than that prescribed above is not permitted, except by written permission of the Dean. 3. Although 12 points of E9800 are required for the doctoral degree, no part of this credit may count toward the minimum residence requirement of 30 points (or 60 points beyond the bachelor’s degree). 4. If a student is required to take course work beyond the minimum residence requirements, the 12 points of doctoral research instruction must still be taken in addition to the required course work. 5. A student must register continuously through the autumn and spring terms. This requirement does not include the summer session. engineering 2011–2012
33 Completion of Requirements The requirements for the Eng.Sc.D. degree must be completed in no more than seven years. The seven-year time period begins at the time the student becomes a candidate for the Eng. Sc.D. degree or a candidate for the professional degree, whichever occurs first, and extends to the date on which the dissertation defense is held. Extension of the time allowed for completion of the degree may be granted on recommendation of the student’s sponsor and the department chairman to the Dean when special circumstances warrant. Such extensions are initiated by submitting a statement of work in progress and a schedule for completion together with the sponsor’s recommendation to the department chairman. Special Nondegree Students Qualified persons who are not interested in a degree program but who wish only to take certain courses may be permitted to register as special students, provided facilities are available. Many graduate courses in The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science are offered in the late afternoon and evening in order to make them available to working individuals who wish to further their knowledge in the areas of engineering and applied science. Individuals who find it difficult or impossible to attend classes on the Columbia campus may be able to receive instruction from the School through the Columbia Video Network without leaving their work sites. Individuals interested in this program should read the section describing the distance learning Columbia Video Network (CVN), which follows in this bulletin. Special students receive grades and must maintain satisfactory attendance and performance in classes or laboratories and will be subject to the same rules as degree candidates. Should a special student decide to pursue a degree program, work completed as a special student may be considered for advanced standing, but no more than 15 points of course work completed as a special student may be counted toward a graduate degree.
