Good Afternoon,

 

Please Note:  You have been sent an individual email if you or your student is expected to prelim soon.  This is for all other students that started Fall 2022 or later

 

As part of our new PhD milestone process timeline PhD students are expected to meet with their entire committee every year (spring semester). 

If students complete a qual exam or prelim exam during the year (fall or spring semester), that will satisfy this committee meeting requirement for that year. If they do not complete an exam, then they are required to complete a mentoring meeting with their whole committee. These mentoring meetings are intended to help keep our doctoral students on track in their research, in their academics training, and in their career development. 

 

As part of the mentoring meeting, the committee is expected to assess and mentor students using similar criteria as all other milestones meetings to help ensure the student is on track to complete their training in the Weldon School of biomedical Engineering. https://engineering.purdue.edu/BME/Academics/Graduate/PhDMilestones/Annual%20Mentoring%20Meeting

 

As in all annual mentoring meetings, the committee will need to fill out the digital evaluation rubric at the end of the meeting to provide feedback to the student  https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1RnO1NihktcSyV0. 

 

RECAP

  1. Your student needs to work with the committee to schedule a mentoring meeting to occur before the end of the Spring Semester if they are not completing a major milestone this year (qual, prelim or defense).
  2. The committee reviews the criteria to be evaluated and communicates to the student what they would like the student to present/discuss during this meeting.
  3. At the end of the mentoring meeting, the committee needs to complete the mentoring assessment and feedback digital form.
