PPGCEM Selection Process – Basic Information
The PPGCEM (Graduate Program in Materials Science and Engineering) selection process is conducted in two phases, overseen by an Evaluation Committee:
First Phase: Evaluation of the written Research Proposal (classificatory, weight 50%). The candidate must indicate potential advisors.
Second Phase: Defense of the Research Proposal before the Committee (eliminatory and classificatory, weight 50%). The defense lasts up to 15 minutes (10 minutes for presentation + 5 minutes for evaluation). Attendance is mandatory, and delays result in disqualification.
