      • Compare results

      • Conclusions

• • Part II: Answer questions related with two majored courses (Control, Power Generation Operation and Control, Power Electronics)

    • Go over your class notes

6. Prelim Exam

   1. • Submit a study plan (3 faculty in the EE and 1 faculty in another department)

      • Talk with other phd students to figure out the paper works you need to file

      • Set a prelim exam date with the graduate office

      • Prepare prelim paper and presentation (50-minute) (talk with senior PhD students to see what need to be in the presentation)

        • An introduction of your theme framework (Literature review of the state-of-the-art, state the challenges you want to tackle, introduce the framework of your thesis, summarize your contributions)

        • Part I: Algorithms developed to tackle challenge 1 (introduction of problems, methodology, simulation results, conclusions)

        • Part II: Algorithms developed to tackle challenge 2 (introduction of problems, methodology, simulation results, conclusions)

        • Conclusions

        • Part III: Future work (to be done in the next 4-6 months)

7. New Grading Reporting

• • NC State University's Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (OSFA) is responsible for confirming that certain students have begun attendance when they earn a grade of 'F' or 'U.' In order to facilitate compliance with Title IV financial aid requirements, changes to the grade roster have been implemented that require a qualifier on the awarding 'F' or 'U' grades. For the student who was involved in the course throughout the entire semester, use the grades 'FE' (Failed Earned) or 'UE' (Unsatisfactory Earned). These are the grades for students who attempted most assignments and did not demonstrate sufficient content mastery to pass the course. For students who earned a grade of 'F' or 'U' but did not complete the course or never began attendance, please use the grades 'FQA/UQA' ('F' grade for a student who attended your course and then quit) or 'FNA/UQA' ('F' grade for a student that never attended.) When using the 'FQA' or 'UQA' grades, please also indicate if the student stopped attending before or after the 60% point.
