| Step 1 of 6: | With the assistance of your faculty supervisor, identify and contact potential committee members to ask for their general willingness to serve on your committee. Students should provide a 1 to 2 page abstract of the proposed research and an informal PhD Program of Work (list of coursework) when contacting potential members. Agreement to serve on your committee is the first step. |
| Step 2 of 6: | When you have tentative agreement from your proposed committee members, email your Track PhD Coordinator and request that your committee be announced to the ECE GSC, Graduate Studies Committee. Provide your full name, your EID, your academic track, a working title of your dissertation (this is not necessarily the final title), the full names of your committee members with labels identifying their roles (supervisor, ; co-supervisor, if you have one; member, ; external member), and a Word or pdf copy of the external member's CV (Curriculum Vitae, or academic resume). |
| Step 3 of 6: | Your committee will be reviewed and approved by the ECE GSC on a no-protest basis over a period of 2 weeks. Please wait for confirmation of committee approval from the Graduate Advising Team before moving onto the Candidacy Evaluation process. |
