The subject matter for the examination includes undergraduate-level materials science topics in general, and includes the graduate level topics that are covered by the required courses. The MSE faculty determines the questions and grading of the exam, which is done on a pass/fail basis. \n\n\n\n</div></div></li><li data-test=\"ruleView-B\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-B-result\"><div>•\tThe second exam is the Candidacy Examination:  The candidacy exam is scheduled by mutual agreement of the student and his/her dissertation committee. The student must prepare a written description of their proposed dissertation research. This document is shared with the committee prior to the examination. Additionally, the student must present their proposed dissertation research to their dissertation committee during the candidacy examination. The student may also be questioned orally by his/her committee during the examination. This is typically on topics relevant to the proposed dissertation research. The exam may be re-taken at the discretion of the dissertation committee.</div></div></li><li data-test=\"ruleView-C\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-C-result\"><div>•\tThe third exam is the Dissertation Defense Examination:  Dissertations are required in all UCF PhD programs. The dissertation consists of an original and substantial research study designed, conducted, and reported by the student with the guidance of the dissertation committee. The written dissertation must include a common theme with an introduction and literature review, details of the study, and results and conclusions prepared in accordance with program and university requirements. The dissertation is expected to represent a significant contribution to the discipline. Since this work must be original, it is very important that care is taken in properly citing ideas and quotations of others. Failure to do so is academic dishonesty and subject to termination from the program without receiving the degree. An oral defense of the dissertation is required. \nPrior to scheduling the dissertation defense, the high quality of the research must be evidenced by: (1) two refereed journal publications with the doctoral candidate as first author that are in print, or formally accepted for publication, or (2) satisfaction of an alternative publication requirement as recommended by the Dissertation Committee.\nThe College of Engineering and Computer Science requires that all dissertation defense announcements are approved by the student&#x27;s adviser and posted on the college&#x27;s website, www.cecs.ucf.edu/graddefense and on the Events Calendar of the College of Graduate Studies website at least two weeks before the defense date.</div></div></li></ul></li></ul></div></div></section><h3>Grand Total Credits:<!-- --> <strong>42</strong></h3></div><h1>Financial Information</h1><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans.
