Preparing your Plan of Study

All students must complete their plan of study, which includes their advisor and graduate committee, and the courses to be taken to comply with the program requirements, during their first semester of studies. Note that, as ECE Graduate Program policy, students cannot take any courses (deficiency of regular program courses) without approving the courses prerequisites.
