OTHER COURSES

Students wishing to have additional courses considered for use toward the minor requirements must provide a course outline/syllabus to the ECE Graduate Affairs Office no later than two weeks (and preferably four weeks) prior to the first day of the final phase of registration for the term in which the non-ECE special topic course is offered. The student must provide either a hard copy of the course outline/syllabus or a link to electronic media outlining the course for which approval is sought.

CS Special Problems courses (CS 8903 taken for 1, 2, or 3 credit hours) and CS seminars are now accepted for both M.S. and Ph.D. students towards group IV (electives).

GRADUATE LEVEL

Most 6000 (or higher) level math courses will be considered for approval for use toward the minor requirement.

Special Problems

Special Problems hours (ECE 8901, ECE 8902, ECE 8903, and CS 8903) are independent study courses under the direction of a faculty supervisor. Special Problems courses are an excellent way to get to know faculty members and to become involved in research that is going on at Georgia Tech. To learn more about Special Problems, refer to the Graduate Student Handbook.

Special Problems Course Approval (requires original signature from faculty member)

Certify Special Problems Hours (only use for hours to count toward Ph.D. degree)

M.S. COURSEWORK PLANNING

Use the coursework planning forms to plan courses.

PH.D. COURSEWORK PLANNING

Responsible Conduct of Research 

The Coursework Completion Form must be completed on the ECE secure website, prior to the submission of the Ph.D. Proposal.

Students who wish to count course credit earned at other universities toward their Ph.D. degree requirements should request the class evaluation during their second term or later. The classes have to be graduate or senior undergraduate level. No classes that were used to satisfy an undergraduate degree can be used toward the Ph.D. degree. Up to 30 hours of credits earned toward a graduate degree with a grade of C and above at a different institution can be used towards the Ph.D. degree. M.S. Thesis can be used in Group IV (electives) for a maximum of 12 credit hours. The approved classes will only count toward the Ph.D. degree course requirements and will not be transferred on the Georgia Tech transcript.

The following package needs to be submitted to the Academic Office for evaluation and approval:

Copy of the Coursework Completion form, filled out entirely. The classes have to show the institution name, number, and title. If the coursework is not completed at the time of the submission, future classes need to be included for a total of 43 hours. The future classes can be later changed to other eligible classes. Please use the classes taken at Georgia Tech in Groups I, II, and III as much as you can.

Non-official transcript from the institution where the classes have been taken. The transcript needs to show that the classes have been used toward a graduate degree and whether the institution is on the semester or quarter system.

Syllabi/course descriptions for all the classes to be used in Groups I, II, and III.

A soft copy of the M.S. thesis (if used in the coursework plan).
