requires to acquire proficiency inthe subject matter listed in paragraphs
and lA, and in elective subject matter covered in atleast xixaddtional
‘graduate courses listed inthis syllabus. The student is expected to acquire
this knowledge inat least four ofthe seven topics contained inthe syllabus
Each student must submit tothe Departmental Graduate Advisor, a Proposal

Breadth Requirements
Each student selecting Structures as his/her major eld willbe held
responsible for the body of knowledge contained two independent PH.D.
Minor Fields which complement the Structures PRD, Major Feld. Each Minor
Feld is defined by a body of knowledge contained in three courses, at least
‘woof which areat the graduate level (Folds ther than established Minor
Fieldsin the School of Engineering ané Applied Science are subject tothe
approval ofthe Structures PhO. Feld Committee) One ofthese Minor Fields
‘may beselected from one of the seven topics contained in ths Syllabus,
provided the selected topical areaisclearly distinct from the subject matter
specied inthe major field The breadth requirement is satisfied by earning a
3.25 GPA inthe courses listed in each of the Minor Feles,
“Thestudent may petition the Structures PhD. Field Committee for
permission to show proficiency n a body of knowlege which differs from the
above recommended norm,Deca Progra Sica! Engarrg an chan Greun|CEE
Minor Field Requirements
‘A student selecting Structures as his/her Minor Feld willbe held responsible
{forthe body of knowlege contained in CBEE 295A and CBEE 237A and sy
‘other course Fisted inthis Syllabus (including prerequisite courses
‘Students who select any of the courses istedin the Syllabus to satisty
requirements ofa field other than Structures may not use that course as part
‘of the Structures Minor Field
‘Students wh wish to satisfy the Minor Field written examination
requirement by grades in courses must achieve atleast a3.25 GPS inthe
courses used to satsty Minor Feld requirements
