This chapter addresses issues related to academic life as a graduate student in Engineering. The chapter contains a description of the degrees offered in engineering, advice on choosing an advisor and a committee, information on graduate school forms, and some other topics. Our purpose here is to help you know what you need to do and when.
We hope you find the information here helpful, but do not rely upon it solely for making decisions. The official sources of information on these topics are the Graduate School, the Guide to Graduate Study, and the Director of Graduate Studies (DGS) or the Director of the M.Eng. Program in your field.
