The student1s application and supporting credentials will be carefully considered by a selection committee who will consider not only the above criteria but also the student1s performance in technical projects, especially in research. The committee also considers the recommendations from faculty or professional peers. For those seeking to pursue the PhD degree, particular emphasis will be given to prior research experience.

For students already holding the MS degree, the above criteria will be applied primarily to their graduate school performance.
