Master’s Degree Programme
Department of Electrical Engineering 257
Graduate and Research Programme
Graduate credit is measured in units. A one-term course at the graduate level counts as one unit. Two units are given to graduate courses extending over two terms (certain mathematics and science courses). Credit units required for specific programmes are discussed in separate sections for the M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. programmes below.
The normal academic load is four units per term for a full-time student. Five units may be taken with special permission only. Students involved in part-time employment at the University or otherwise, must take a reduced academic load.
A Faculty Advisor is appointed to supervise the programme of study of each graduate student. A new student must meet with his advisor prior to graduate course registration to arrange his course-work programme and discuss his research interests. The progress of the student will be reviewed at least once each term by the advisor. Any changes in either course-work or research programme must be specifically approved prior to registration in the subsequent term.
The objective of the Master’s Degree programme (M.A.Sc.) in Electrical Engineering is to demonstrate individual accomplishment of a high professional and academic standard. The candidate, with the approval of his advisor, may elect to submit either a research thesis as a portion of the requirements, or an engineering project report of a professional calibre on a design or theoretical application problem.
The complete programme submitted for the M.A.Sc. degree must consist of at least five units of graduate credit plus a thesis, 808, or eight units of graduate credit plus a project, 807. The thesis, 808 counts as six units, and the project, 807, as two units.
The topic of the thesis and the choice of the required five units of graduate-course work are arranged by the student and his Faculty Advisor. Each student’s programme is subject to approval by the Graduate Studies Committee of the Department. The student must remain registered without interruption in 808 until the thesis is submitted. The research work leading to the thesis must be performed under the direction of the Faculty Advisor, and is finally approved and accepted by at least two readers, including the Advisor.
The topic of the report and the eight units of graduate-course work are arranged by the student and his Faculty Advisor for approval by the Graduate Studies Committee. The work leading to the report must be performed under the direction of the Advisor and be acceptable to him. Credit may not be obtained for both 807 and 808.
The minimum period of registration for the Master’s degree is three terms after an honours Bachelor’s degree or equivalent. A programme of fourteen or more academic units is considered as a two-year programme. The two-year programme is appropriate for applicants with acceptable preparation who are changing their field of study, or entering an inter-disciplinary area.
At least half the minimum course requirements shall consist of graduate courses numbered 600 to 790. Advanced undergraduate courses in the 500-series may be accepted as part of the candidate’s programme for one unit of credit each, together with other undergraduate courses which may be deemed appropriate in individual cases for credit as recommended by the Department.
The candidate must obtain an average grade of at least 66% (B) in
the rnuecoiwarl rnartian af hie annrnavued etuAy mrvnasrvammae Atanwy tims
8 Department of Electrical Engineering
received a grade C (60-65%) or less, in more than one course in Electrical Engineering, or in more than a total of two course units.
The Department may recommend that credit be allowed for courses taken at other institutions. Up to two units for a research thesis student, and up to four units for a project student may be approved in special cases.
The Ph.D, Degree Programme The primary objective of the Ph.D. programme is the accomplishment of independent and original research work and reporting thereon in a research thesis. The subsidiary requirements are completion of a suitable course-work programme, passing a comprehensive examination, and receiving a satisfactory review by an advisory committee.
Admission to the Ph.D. programme is based upon the student’s academic record and evidence of ability to pursue independent research. At the time of admission, each Ph.D. student must have a Faculty Advisor who has endorsed the recommendation for admission. Normally, admission is made to a two year programme from the Master’s degree. Once a candidate is formally registered for a research thesis, 809, he must maintain such registration continuously until his thesis is submitted. The actual time required to satisfy all Ph.D. Tequirements is usually longer than two years, but normally four years is considered ample time. Extensions beyond five years must be approved by the Faculty Graduate Studies Committee.
The course-work associated with the Ph.D. programme is intended to provide a foundation for advanced learning in the chosen field of research. While there is no fixed requirement as to the number of credit units to be taken, the Advisor and the Advisory Committee for each student will consider the level and adequacy of each student’s preparation in drawing up his specific programme.
The Comprehensive Examination This examination, 803, is conducted by the Department for each candidate. It is normally held 8-12 months, but in any case no later than 18 months, after the initial registration for the Ph.D. degree. The examination has two main objectives: First, the Department is to be satisfied that the candidate has a broad knowledge of his field and adequate background preparation to pursue his research. The candidate may be questioned on his background preparation. Secondly, to identify an Advisory Committee who have examined and approved the candidate’s thesis proposal, and are willing to assist the Advisor with the subsequent research programme.
