[CCoE Notice] PhD dissertations completed in the College during 2010-11

[Khator, Suresh]

Dear Colleagues,

Here is the semester and the departmental breakdown of the Ph.D. dissertations completed during academic year 2010-11.  As you can see the Civil, Chemical and Electrical were the three departments producing a dozen or more PhDs while the other two Industrial and Mechanical were a step below.  I am also enclosing the last year's numbers.  In comparison to last year, we have increased the number of PhDs completed by 40%.  Also, this is the second time (earlier in 2007-08) that we have crossed the 50 PhDs completion.

As you know the number of PhDs granted during a year is one of the bench marks for the UH to be eligible for Tier 1 funding and the university's target is 250 PhDs in a year.  The three Colleges (CLASS, Engineering and NSM) perhaps account for 80% of PhDs granted at UH and the Provost expects a heavy lifting by our College on this metric.
