Plan of Study and AEC

Guides to help fill out a Plan of Study (POS) and form a thesis committee

Plan of Study (POS)

Beginning in Spring 2022, all MAE grad students must file a preliminary POS with the department during the first semester of their program. The department has templates available here.

Advisory and Examining Committeee (AEC)

For a PhD, an AEC must consist of at least 5 members (typically not more than 6). Dr. S will be the Committee Chair as your research advisor. From there, you can pick the remaining 4-5 AEC members from faculty throughout the University. The Statler college and the MMAE department have the following requirements for the 5-6 AEC members [x]:

At least one of the five members of the committee must be from outside the degree-granting department.
A minimum of two members for M.S. and four member for Ph.D. committees must be members of the Statler College Graduate Faculty
- A full PDF of the members is on the Graduate Forms Page
- This requirement includes both regular and associate appointments
The majority of the members of the AEC must be regular members of the Statler College Graduate Faculty
At least 3 members should be from MAE Department
- This includes adjunct appointments
