By end of the second semester a full time student shouldsubmit and defend a thesis proposal. The GAC committee's membership should reflect the specializedprofessional requirements of the area of concentration. The advisory committee for Master’s degree studentsconsists of three (3) faculty members with one of them serving as the student's advisor. If a co-advisor or amember outside the department is assigned, an additional faculty member from the student’s department mustbe added to the committee. The student's advisor serves as the chairman of the GAC. A final plan of study mustbe submitted when a student completes her/his coursework. The decision of the GAC is based on a majority vote.Deviation from RequirementsThe forum for any deviations from the requirements described in the Petroleum Institute Graduate Catalog will be aformal petition by the chair of the student's GAC to the Electrical Engineering Graduate Committee. Deviationsfrom the requirements may be considered for significant reasons only.Master of ScienceThe Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) degree requires a minimum of thirty-three (33) credithours, as detailed below:Six (6) credit hours of core coursesAt least six (6) credit hours in an area of concentrationThree (3) credit hours in an approved elective area in Electrical EngineeringSix (6) credit hours of graduate level mathematics coursesNine (9) credit hours of thesis researchPage 48
