 The Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering is a specialized degree, built on a broad base of science, mathematics, and engineering skills. The course program must reflect competency in Electrical Engineering and specialized study in other areas relevant to the student's research focus. Normally the majority of units are drawn from EE department courses, often with 9 units from related advanced science, mathematics, or engineering courses.

 The dissertation advisor is the primary faculty member who will supervise the student's research and fund the length of their study until graduation with the PhD.  The second reader is an additional faculty member who agrees to review and sign off on the student's dissertation. The dissertation advisor must be regular Stanford faculty (not Consulting faculty or Senior Research Associate).  The dissertation advisor and/or second reader must have some affiliation with EE -- either a full, joint or courtesy appointment.  The appointing of emeritus faculty to a student's committee is subject to department approval.
