Approval of the prospectus implies that the proposed research is suitable for a Ph.D. degree and can be accomplished within the resources available. It does not guarantee that the student’s effort in conducting research will, in all cases, satisfy the requirements for a successful defense. Presentation Guidelines The presentation must be scheduled through the Graduate Advising Office. The student is responsible for bring the paperwork that they have received from the Office of Graduate Education. The chair or both chairs must be physically present at the presentation. Only one member is allowed to video/telephone into the presentation. The oral presentation should take approximately 30 minutes (~15‐20 slides). The total time of the examination including committee deliberation should not exceed an hour and a half. The student may be questioned on his/her presentation during the course of the examination or the committee can choose to wait until the presentation is finished to have a question‐and‐answer period. After the student finishes his/her oral presentation, he/she and other non‐committee members are excused from the room to allow the committee members to discuss the presentation and to make a decision to "pass or fail" the student. Finally, the student must submit all forms and the timeline toward graduation slide to the Graduate Advising Office. in Passing Master’s The Materials program established a Master's in Passing (MIP) for doctoral students who maintain good standing in the program and wish to obtain a Master's degree once they completed significant milestones in the doctoral program.
