0 credits · Graduate

In preparation for the research thesis work, each PhD candidate must first prepare and defend a PhD Thesis Proposal. Presented at about the 1-year mark in the PhD program, this 20-40 page proposal will briefly review the relevant scientific/engineering literature, present the research objectives and specific hypotheses to be tested, describe the methodology to be employed, the expected outcomes and potential pitfalls, demonstrate the likelihood of an original contribution to knowledge relevant to Biomedical Engineering.
