ECEN PhD Qualifying Exam Format

ECEN will utilize the following two-track option for administrating its qualifying exam. The research advisor will be selecting which track the students will take. During the transition period, students who have already taken an exam through Track 1 and failed will be allowed to change to Track 2, but such change request must come from the advisor. Students without a research advisor will automatically take Track 1.
