Independent research with individual faculty. Tailored to the particular interests and needs of the individual student. May include literature review, research projects, or other special studies that enrich the student’s program.
The Study Design course for Epidemiology doctoral students will provide formal instruction in core study designs including randomized control trials, cohort, case-control, and ecological study designs. The goal of the course is for students to master the choice of design, and its strengths and limitations, based on the research question. Students will practice writing the following sections of a research proposal: research design, including the rationale for the design, impact, significance and methods.
Plasma and Fusion Colloquium: All plasma and fusion graduate students are strongly encouraged to attend the department seminar as long as they are in residence. Interested undergraduates are also welcome. No degree credit is granted.
Students in the Biological Science PhD program only. Independent research in approved thesis sponsor laboratories.
Doctoral candidates are required to make an original investigation of a problem in biomedical engineering, the results of which are presented in the dissertation.
Open only to certified candidates for the Ph.D. and Eng.Sc.D. degrees. Doctoral candidates in chemical engineering are required to make an original investigation of a problem in chemical engineering or applied chemistry, the results of which are presented in their dissertations. No more than 15 points of credit toward the degree may be granted when the dissertation is accepted by the department.
All doctoral students are required to complete successfully four semesters of the mechanical engineering seminar MECE E9500.
This proposed seminar is an investigation into the network of relations between three things: (I) the nature of a domain of entities, including their properties and relations; (II) the capacity to have mental states about them; and (III) the capacity to know and to make reasonable judgements about them.
As a subpart of this investigation, as a special case at one level up: we are sometimes concerned with the network of relations between: (I’) the nature of a domain of entities consisting of, or involving, intentional contents themselves, their properties and relations; (II’) the capacity of have mental states about them; and (III’) the capacity to know and make reasonable judgements about them.
All matriculated graduate students are required to attend the seminar as long as they are in residence. No degree credit is granted. The seminar is the principal medium of communication among those with biomedical engineering interests within the University. Guest speakers from other institutions, Columbia faculty, and students within the Department who are advanced in their studies frequently offer sessions.
MA Film & Media Studies students register for this class to receive academic credit for their thesis work.
