1. Program Description and Objectives:
a. Objective of the program:
To establish a joint doctorate degree program between the Georgia Institute of Technology
(Georgia Tech) and the Politecnico di Milano (PdM). This program would help to expand Georgia
Tech's role in international research initiatives and collaborations while supporting economic
development at the university, state, and national levels.
PdM is a highly ranked technical university 1 located in one of the most industrialized regions of
Italy Lombardy. It has close ties with industry at the national, European, and international levels; it
shares similar strategic goals as those of Georgia Tech; it has complimentary resources that fully
support students and faculty; and it participates in a number of important academic and economic
projects within Europe and abroad.
b. Needs the program will meet:
This joint Ph.D. program will afford graduate students from each university the opportunity to:
study and conduct research at an international peer engineering, science and computer research
institution; gain confidence in working as a member of an international team; and live and study in
an environment outside of their home country. These are global competencies expected of
engineers, scientists, technologists, and researchers of the 21 st century. In addition, the program will
provide a formal structure for already existing, informal faculty collaborations between Georgia
Tech and PdM. Finally, these programs will facilitate Georgia Tech's participation in international
research and economic development to the benefit of a global Georgia.
c. Brief explanation of how the program is to be delivered:
The joint program will follow the guidelines of the existing Ph.D. program at each institution.
Eligible students must first be accepted into the existing Ph.D. program at their home institution with
confirmed doctoral advisors. Such students-with the help and approval of their advisors-must then
identify suitable co-advisors at the host university. The advisors and co-advisors from Georgia Tech
and PdM must confirm their willingness to supervise the students before the students may apply to
the joint Ph.D. program. Students who meet these criteria would then submit their applications to be
reviewed independently by both the home and host universities for formal acceptance to the joint
Ph.D. program of their major. In addition, eligible students must have been awarded a M.S. degree,
have a minimum GPA of3.5, and meet minimum TOEFL and GRE scores as required for the
Georgia Tech Ph.D. program.
The research and coursework of the joint Ph.D. program will satisfy the requirements of both
universities' standard Ph.D. programs. The majority of research and coursework (more than 50%)
must be completed at the "home" university while a minimum of one year must be spent at the
"host" institution. A dual committee will also be established for both the thesis proposal and the
1 In 2009 the Politecnico di Milano was ranked 2nd in the country by the State ranking system in for academic excellence and the
quality of education. The University of Trento was ranked 1st and the Politecnico di Torino was ranked 3rd. For more information,

defense presentation (in English). At the end of the program, a single Ph.D. degree will be awarded
with names of both universities on the degree.
In terms of funding, this is not an exchange program. Tuition will be paid to the university at which
the student is taking courses in any given semester.
d. Prioritization within the Georgia Tech strategic plan.
The proposed program contributes to the Institute meeting its strategic goals of:
•
Creating a Diverse Community: An international program, by definition, increases the diversity
of the student population. These joint degree programs would be the first of their kind with these
outstanding Italian universities. We estimate bringing two to four students into the program each
year for each proposed degree major, roughly half through the Atlanta campus and the other half
through the Italian universities.
•
Building an Enhanced Research Enterprise: The faculty and students at Georgia Tech and PdM
will greatly expand their research efforts by conducting collaborative studies that will include the
students enrolled in this program. The advisor and co-advisor relationship generates not only an
invaluable exchange of ideas for students and faculty, but also dynamic research opportunities
for the governments and industries of both countries and for the European Union.
•
Expanding LocaL RegionaL and Global Outreach: Georgia Tech's strategic plan states that the
goals of "outreach" are largely economic. The very existence of this joint program will open
doors to research funding and industrial opportunities that simply are not easily available to
U.S.-based researchers on their own. PdM has close relationships with industry, is a highly
respected academic institution within the European Union, and is closely tied with the region of
Lombardy, one of the most industrialized regions in Italy which happens to share many of the
same economic goals as the State of Georgia.
2. Description of the program's fit with the institutional mission and nationally accepted trends in
the discipline.
International partnerships are, and will be, increasingly indispensable in addressing many of the
critical engineering problems of today. Georgia Tech's ability to provide the State of Georgia with
the science, technology, and innovation required for a prosperous and sustainable future will depend
on its ability to build learning and research communities which are-as stated in Georgia Tech's
mission statement-"multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional" and which "cross traditional
boundaries among industry, government and academia throughout the world." A joint Ph.D.
program linking Georgia Tech with one of Europe's leading technical research universities-the
Politecnico di Milano-would further advance Georgia Tech's goal in becoming a model for future
success in academia on a global scale. It would not only set a precedent for establishing long-term
collaborative relationships with international colleagues at the frontiers of science and engineering
research, but would also promote the development of a diverse, globally-engaged engineering
workforce and open the doors for further economic development in the State of Georgia and abroad.

Proposal: Joint Ph.D. in ECE Program
3. Description of how the program demonstrates demand, justifies need in the discipline and
geographic area (region, state, and nation), and does not unnecessarily duplicate existing efforts.
•
Currently, no such program presently exists within the State of Georgia or the southeastern
U.S. As such, we do not consider this as unnecessary program duplication.
• The program would help meet the needs of engineering graduate students who wish to learn
and work in a global economy. More than ever before, Georgia's students must be open to, be
prepared for, and remain competitive in today's global economy. As engineering discoveries result
more and more from international collaboration, students must be able to operate effectively in
teams comprised of partners from different nations and cultural backgrounds. Through this program,
they will learn not only from their own coursework, but by directly participating in collaborative
research with faculties from both campuses. As a result of these experiences, students will obtain the
professional skills for excelling in the U.S., European Union, and international marketplaces.
• The program would benefit faculty members by providing a formal structure to support
existing, informal collaborative research efforts. Many informal research collaborations presently
exist between faculty at Georgia Tech and PdM. A formal Ph.D. program would allow students to
spend more intense and structured periods of time at the collaborator's university while still working
on the research project of interest to a Georgia Tech faculty member. At present, constraints on how
much time a student on either side may spend away from their home institution-especially while
being supported on sponsored projects-is a factor that limits these types of student exchanges
between GT and PdM.
• The program would further facilitate academic and industrial connections with Italy, now a
prominent European business investor in the State of Georgia. Italy is one of the most important
European business investors in the State of Georgia. In 2006, the Italian Ambassador to the U.S. met
with Governor Sonny Perdue and spoke before the House and Senate, where resolutions were passed
to support industrial and academic exchanges and collaborations between Georgia and Italy. A new
Ph.D. program with an important Italian university that has close ties with industry would further
support the academic initiatives already begun in the last two years (e.g., two dual M.S. programs
with Italian universities and the winning of ATLANTIS - Actions for Transatlantic Links and
Academic Networks for Training and Integrated Studies, a joint U.S. Department of Education and
European Commission grant).
PdM is located in one of the most industrialized regions ofItaly (Lombardy) and has very close ties
with industry. PdM is the largest technical university in Italy, with about 40,000 students, and is
ranked as one of the best universities in Italy in terms of scientific production and attraction of
foreign students. 2 PdM participates in associations and consortia for applied research and has offices
to assist technological transfers and continuing education for professionals. It supports the
establishment of research spin-offs, and also of high-tech companies during their start-up phase,
with a structure named Acceleratore d'Impresa (Start-up Incubator). These facilities would provide
extraordinary research and career opportunities to Georgia Tech's Ph.D. students and faculty
participating in this joint program.

4. Institutional Resources.
This is a revenue-neutral program.
a. Library and learning resources (coordinated with Kathy Tomajko, Assistant to the Dean, Georgia Tech
Library, E-mail: kathy.tomajko@library.gatech.edu, Office number: 404-894-4527).
There will be no additional library and learning resource costs associated with this proposed joint Ph.D.
program in that the program will be located on the main Georgia Tech campus and the main Italian
universities' campuses. Library costs will be included in the mandatory student fees and also in the regular
campus budget for refreshing library and learning resources.
User access to electronic resources licensed by the Library must be consistent with the contracts we have
entered into with the vendors of these materials. Access for nearly all of them is limited to current students,
faculty, and staff ("authorized users") of Georgia Tech. For dual-enrollment programs, students must be
officially registered as students of Georgia Tech and currently enrolled in order to have access to licensed
electronic resources. Most vendors allow remote access to their resources by means of the Library's proxy
server for authorized Georgia Tech users, as defined above. Caveat: Some vendors place restrictions on site
locations of users who are allowed access to their materials (e.g., the materials are licensed for use by only
those Georgia Tech users based at the Atlanta campus).3
b. Information Technology resources (coordinated with Dwayne Palmer, Manager, Academic and Research
Technologies, E-mail: dwayne.palmer@oit.gatech.edu, Office number: 404-894-6723).
The Office of Information Technology confirms that there will be no additional IT costs associated with this
proposed joint Ph.D. program in that the program will be located on the main Georgia Tech campus and the
main Italian universities' campuses. IT costs are included in the student's technology fees and also in the
campus budget for refreshing the IT equipment. 4

c. Distance learning resources (Dr. Nelson Baker, Vice ProvostIDLPE, E-mail:
nelson.baker@dlpe.gatech.edu, Office number: 404-894-9658).
No DLPE resources are required for this program.
5. Joint Program Structure and Curriculum
The proposed joint Ph.D. program is the result of merging two well-established and highly compatible
Ph.D. programs from two top-tier universities in their respective countries. It is structured around, and
defined by, the independent admission and degree completion policies, procedures, and regulations of each
of the Ph.D. degree programs offered respectively at Georgia Tech (GT) and Politecnico di Milano (PdM).
Therefore, students enrolled in this joint Ph.D. degree program must meet all of the requirements of each
institution's separate Ph.D. degree programs in order to complete the joint GT-PdM Ph.D. program. The
main difference is that the transfer credits normally allowed by each separate program will still continue to
satisfy credit requirements at the originating institution.
Any change to either of the separate Ph.D. degree programs will automatically apply to this joint Ph.D.
program. Should either program change after a student has enrolled in the joint program, the student-as long
as they are enrolled and progressing in the program-will have the option to complete the joint degree
according to the requirements at the time of enrollment or to adapt his or her study program to the new
requirements.
a-d. Curriculum of Joint Program:
The proposed joint Ph.D. program does not require or suggest any changes to the existing Ph.D. degree
programs of either Georgia Tech or PdM. Rather, the proposed program mandates that students enrolled in
this joint program satisfy the curriculum requirements of each of the existing Ph.D. programs at Georgia
Tech and PdM. The existing Ph.D. degree study programs at each institution are flexible enough to allow
for a large amount of credit transfer, thereby enabling a student to simultaneously satisfy the Ph.D.
coursework requirements at each institution without a significant increase in the total course load compared
to either study program independently.
As such, there are no new courses being proposed. The curriculum for the joint program will be composed
of existing, faculty-approved classes on both campuses that meet the current Ph.D. program's requirements
at both Georgia Tech and PdM. In addition, all Ph.D. courses will be taught in English by existing faculty
at both institutions.
• See Appendix 1 for Existing Ph.D. Program and Curriculum Requirements in Electrical and
Computer Engineering (ECE) at Georgia Tech.
• See Appendix 2 for Existing Ph.D. Program and Curriculum Requirements in either Electronics
and Information or Electrical Engineering at the Politecnico di Milan0 5
5 The corresponding ECE Ph.D. at PdM will be in one of these two research areas: Electronics and Information or Electrical
Engineering

The above appendices also include Web links to detailed descriptions of Ph.D. level courses presently being
offered at both Georgia Tech and PdM.
Since the joint Ph.D. program does not involve a separate and distinct curriculum program but rather allows
the existing separate Ph.D. curriculum requirements to "pass through" unaltered, it is possible that these
independent and externally conceived requirements may change between the time a student enters the joint
program and the time the student completes the program. In such cases, the existing Ph.D. curriculum
requirements in place at the time of the student's enrollment into the joint program shall remain a valid
alternative to the changed requirements so long as the student remains enrolled in the joint program. At the
time of application, it is the responsibility of the student to have an approved joint study program that meets
the requirements of both programs within their respective constraints.
Joint Ph.D. Program Requirements
While there are no changes to the curriculum requirements of either university, there are some additional
application and program requirements which are detailed below:
• Application
Before applying to the joint Ph.D. program, students must first apply and be admitted to the existing Ph.D.
program at their "home institution", i.e., either to Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA, U.S.A., or to PdM in
Milano, Italy. This would mean that prior to application to the joint Ph.D. program, the student will have
satisfied all admissions requirements for the home university's Ph.D. program. A student must also have
passed any examination (other than course exams) required by their home university's existing Ph.D.
program before the thesis proposal prior to acceptance into the joint Ph.D. program (for example, any
written and/or oral preliminary/comprehensive examination).
• M.S. Degree Requirement
Eligible students for this joint Ph.D. program must also have completed a Master's degree in Electrical and
Computer Engineering with the minimum grade point average of3.5 out of 4.0 6 from a recognized (or
accredited) school of engineering. Applicants with M.S. degrees in other engineering disciplines, computer
sciences, or physics are also eligible to apply. PdM Ph.D. students are required to have already obtained a
M.S. degree in order to apply to the Ph.D. program at their institution. Georgia Tech Ph.D. students who
have not yet completed their Master's degree will have to wait until they are awarded that degree before
they are eligible to transfer into the joint Ph.D. program.
6
The equivalent grade point average at PdM is presently 96 out of 110 points.
Georgia Institute of Technology
Proposal: Joint Ph.D. in ECE Program
Page 9 of a?
• Length of Program and Residency Requirement
The joint Ph.D. program must be completed in four years after the M.S. is obtained. 7 Students will take
the majority of their classes and conduct research in their advisors' laboratories at their home campus. In
addition, students will spend a minimum of one year doing research at their co-advisors' laboratories and
taking classes on the host campus. Because of the flexibility in the programs at both institutions, students
can complete this program within four years.
Applicants with M.S. degrees outside of Georgia Tech ECE should carefully consider the joint curriculum
requirements in light of their prior coursework to assess whether the amount of allowed credit from their
prior M.S. coursework will be sufficient to complete the remaining coursework requirements within the
four-year time limit. Applicants with non-ECE M.S. degrees are especially cautioned to pay close attention
to this matter as they are likely to receive significantly less credit toward their Ph.D. coursework
requirements compared to students with M.S. degrees in ECE.
• Co-Advisors
At the time of application (see Admissions Criteria section below), the student will have to identify and
obtain confirmation from co-advisors at both the home and host institutions. These two advisors-who have
agreed to work together with the Ph.D. student-must belong to the respective faculties of each institution
and be qualified by their institution to advise Ph.D. students in their institution's existing Ph.D. program.
Working together, the advisors will assist the student in successfully determining an appropriate program of
study and research that is in a compliance with the existing Ph.D. programs ofboth institutions. In addition,
these advisors will assist the student in conducting their proposed area of research associated with the joint
Ph.D. program.
• Dual Committee for Thesis Proposal and Defense
A dual committee - one committee from each university - will be selected to approve a student's
dissertation proposal and dissertation defense. Membership of each institution's committee must meet the
independent requirements of that institution's standard Ph.D. doctoral committee. As with the curriculum,
should the requirements change at any time, the requirements in place at the time ofa student's enrollment
into the joint program will remain valid so long as the student remains enrolled in the Ph.D. program.
The doctorate dissertation proposal as well as the final Ph.D. thesis will be presented in both written and
oral form. The oral presentation of both the proposal and the final defense will take place at one of the two
partner institutions by remote conference connection and will be approved by the dual committee. Both the
oral presentation and defense will be delivered in English. The student's advisors and the committee
members from the home and host institutions will participate, either on site or through remote connection.
7
The standard duration of the Ph.D. program at PdM is three years and can be extended to four years for international joint Ph.D.
programs.
Georgia Institute of Technology
Proposal: Joint Ph.D. in ECE Program
Page 10 of 87
• Publication Requirement
Ph.D. students enrolled in the joint program will also be required to publish a minimum of one paper in
journals (or conference proceedings) which have a noted impact factor (e.g., lSI or lSI-like index) in order
to be conferred their doctorate degree. The joint committee will determine if the publications satisfy this
requirement.
• Credit Transfer
Both institutions currently allow an enrolled student to transfer a generous amount of academic credit in
order to meet the requirements of their existing Ph.D. programs. In the joint Ph.D. program, credits that are
transferred to satisfy requirements at the host institution will continue to satisfy credit requirements at the
home institution. The credit transfer will be in accordance with each institution's published policies on
credit transfer.
Per the policy in the Georgia Tech General Catalog, 9 hours of coursework for a letter grade out of a total of
43 credit hours in coursework must be coursework completed at Georgia Tech. At PdM 15-20 ECTS 8 must
be completed at PdM out of a total of 40-50 ECTS required for coursework. 9 The published policies of each
institution will enable Ph.D. students enrolled in the joint program to complete the coursework requirement
of each institution separately within the stated four years, even if they only spend the minimum of one year
at the host university.
The decision about which specific courses to transfer toward the Georgia Tech curriculum requirements will
rest with the ECE graduate office. Likewise, the decision about which specific courses to transfer toward
the PdM curriculum requirements will rest with the PdM doctoral school. In accordance with the standard
Ph.D. program of both universities, all transferred credits will require official approval of the individual
courses.
Should the credit transfer policy regarding credit transfer change mid-way through the program, the rules in
place at the time of enrollment into the joint program shall remain a valid alternative to the changed
requirements so long as the student remains enrolled in the joint program.
• Joint Coursework Planning
Careful advanced coordination of coursework will be required for students who wish to avoid any additional
coursework beyond the normal Ph.D. course load in order to satisfy both universities' curricula constraints.
Otherwise, because both universities require that a certain number of courses be completed on their local
campus, some additional coursework may be necessary and will depend on a student's specific program of
study.
8 The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a standard for comparing the study attainment and
performance of students of higher education across the European Union and other collaborating European countries. For
successfully completed studies, ECTS credits are awarded. One ECTS corresponds to a workload of about 25 hours in all EC
member countries irrespective of standard or qualification type and is used to facilitate transfer and progression throughout the
European Union. The official conversion used by the Registrar's office at Georgia Tech is: 1 ECTS = 0.714 Semester Credit
Hours.
9 Most ofthe credits obtained during the 3-4 year doctorate program at PdM are for Ph.D. research for which students are given
130-140 ECTS. A total of 180 ECTS are required for completion of the 3-4 year Ph.D. program at PdM.
Georgia Institute of Technology
Proposal: Joint Ph.D. in ECE Program
Page 11 of 87
It is important to note that in order to participate in the joint Ph.D. program and complete the program
within four years, eligible students must have already completed the course work required for a M.S.
Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science or Physics from Georgia Tech or a
recognized/accredited school of engineering. Applicants with M.S. degrees outside of Georgia Tech ECE
should carefully consider the joint curriculum requirements in light of their prior coursework to assess
whether the amount of allowed credit from their prior M.S. coursework will be sufficient to complete the
remaining course work requirements within the time limit. Applicants with non:"ECE M.S. degrees are
especially cautioned to pay close attention to this matter as they may receive less credit toward their Ph.D.
coursework requirements compared to students with M.S. degrees in ECE.
• Joint Degree Program of Study (See Appendix 3 for samples ofprogram study.)
The program of study for the proposed joint Ph.D. program must meet all the requirements of both
institutions. Ph.D. coursework plans are highly individualized and it will be the student's responsibility to
work with the academic offices of both institutions to be sure that all degree requirements are met and
official approval for the program of study is obtained from both Georgia Tech and PdM.
An approximate time line for a joint program student is shown below.
Year 1
Take courses towards

The course curriculum is the same one for the Georgia Tech standard Ph.D. in ECE. The curriculum also
meets the standard requirements for the Ph.D. at PdM.
e. Append materials available from national accrediting agencies or professional organizations as
they relate to curriculum standards for the proposed program.
10 Nine (9) credit hours for letter grade must be taken on the Georgia Tech Atlanta campus, and 20 ECTS of Level 3 courses for
letter grade must be taken on the PdM campus. At Georgia Tech, up to 12 M.S. thesis hours can also be used in place of electives
as long as they are recorded as such on an official transcript.

Not applicable to this program.
f. Indicate ways in which the proposed program is consistent with national standards.
The proposed joint program does not modify the existing academic Ph.D. curriculum of either university,
and it is consistent with national standards in both the U.S. and Italy. The program will remain consistent as
these separate curricula evolve.
In addition, the proposed program would add a new rigor and complexity to the higher education
globalization process that all U.S. research universities seek. Because of the increasingly global nature of
the employment market and the rapid pace of technological change, there is a growing trend in higher
education to create formidable international partnerships at the graduate level. The field of engineering is
not exempt from this trend.
Here at Georgia Tech, this new development is exemplified by a growing number of international dual and
joint graduate degree programs. This includes the recently awarded ATLANTIS dual M.S. program, a joint
effort funded by the U.S. Department of Education and the European Commission (www.M.S.­
atlantis.gatech.edu), as well as the brand new joint Ph.D. program between the Wallace H. Coulter
Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech/Emory University and the Department of
Biomedical Engineering at Peking University (PKU).
Other top U.S. universities have similar post-graduate degree engineering programs with universities
abroad. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Carnegie Mellon University have dual M.S. and
dual Ph.D. programs with a number of top engineering and technical universities in Portugal
(www.mitportugal.org and www.cmuportugal.org) in such disciplines as Computer Science, Electrical
Engineering, Bioengineering, Sustainable Energy, and Transportation. In addition, Virginia Tech's College
of Engineering has a dual M.S. degree program in Engineering Science and Mechanics with the Politecnico
di Milano in Italy; a dual M.S. degree program in Industrial and Systems Engineering with the Ecole des
Mines de Nantes in France (www.ise.vt.edu/outreach/dual.php); a dual Ph.D. degree program with
Jadavapur University in India; and a dual M.S. degree program and dual/joint Ph.D. degree program with
the Technische Universitat Darmstadt in Germany (www.tud.vt.edu).
In Europe, the trend of international dual and joint master's and doctorate degrees has grown considerably
in the last few years. With significant support from government bodies, chambers of commerce, and the
corporate sector, Italy in particular has been highly supportive of these types of international initiatives,
increasing their international graduate mobility programs to provide integrated curricula, and offering dual
and joint M.S. and Ph.D. programs in English in order to attract top international graduate students from
around Europe and beyond. The Politecnico di Milano is at the forefront of these types of international,
graduate-level initiatives. 11
g. If internships, clinical placements, and/or field experiences are required/appropriate as part of the
program, provide information documenting availability of these experiences as well as how
students will be assigned and supervised.

Georgia Institute of Technology
Proposal: Joint Ph.D. in ECE Program
Page 13 of 87
The Ph.D. students enrolled in the program are required to spend at least one year in residency at the host
university, working in their co-advisor's laboratory and performing research at the host university as part of
their Ph.D. dissertation. This requirement provides students with first-hand work experience in another
country, and thus exposure to foreign systems, customs, and language.
All students enrolled in the program will also be required to take ECE 8022, a Professional
Communications Seminar, and ECE 8010, a series of seminar presentations describing ECE-re1ated research
projects, centers, and other activities at Georgia Tech. They are also highly encouraged to take one of the
graduate seminars (ECE 8001-8003) given by speakers with diverse backgrounds and representing many
different industries, professions, and institutions describe their experiences, entrepreneurial ventures, and
research challenges.
In addition, the joint program also requires that students publish a minimum of two papers within their area
of research in prominent international journals (or conference papers) which have a high impact factor.
Finally, each university has a well-established support system to ensure Ph.D. students attain field
experience and socialization. Please see Appendix 4 and Appendix 5 for details on the existing field
experience and socialization support systems for Ph.D. students in ECE at both Georgia Tech and PdM.
h. Indicate the adequacy of core offerings to support the new program.
Not applicable as existing courses are a key part ofthis joint program.
i. Export Control Review
The courses taken as part of this program are catalog courses and therefore fall under the educational
exemption from the export control regulations. As noted in this proposal, students will take most oftheir
classes and conduct research at their home institution. All research projects conducted at GT are reviewed
on an individual basis for export controls. At the time of the project review, a determination is made to
ensure compliance with U.S. export control regulations. Foreign Nationals will not be permitted to work on
projects that are outside the Fundamental Research Exclusion (FRE). All projects should be submitted for
export review to GTRC, Mary Beran, E-mail address: export@gatech.edu; Office Phone: 404-385-2083.)12
6. Admissions Criteria:
Admissions to Existing Ph.D. Program of Home Institution
Students must first apply and be accepted to the existing Ph.D. programs of a "home institution": either to
Georgia Tech in Atlanta, or to PdM in Milan, Italy. This includes taking any required entrance examinations
at their home university.

Proposal: Joint Ph.D. in ECE Program
•
Page 14 of 87
See Appendix 7 for Politecnico di Milano's Ph.D. Admissions Requirements
Final admissions into the joint Ph.D. will also be contingent on the passing of any examination (other than
course exams) required by their home institution prior to the thesis proposal (for example, any written
and/or oral preliminary/comprehensive examination). As a result, joint Ph.D. applicants will be excluded
from taking such examinations again at the host institution. Students who fail these examinations at their
home institution would not be admitted into the joint Ph.D. program.
By not allowing direct application into the joint Ph.D. program, students will not "bypass" the standard
admission and evaluation criteria of the home university, thus providing a higher degree of quality control.
Application to Joint Ph.D. Program at Home Institution
The evaluation by the home institution for acceptance into the proposed joint Ph.D. program will be based
on academic performance and whatever research a student may have completed as part of his/her Master's
degree program and/or undergraduate activities. Since these applicants would have already been accepted
into the existing Ph.D. program of the home university at the time of application, the evaluation will also
include any relevant activities as Ph.D. students at the home institution. Approval ofjoint Ph.D. applicants
by the home institution may be coordinated by a graduate committee or program director as designated by
the home institution.
M.S. Degree Requirement
In addition to having been accepted at their home institution, eligible students must also have completed a
Master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering with the minimum grade point average of3.5 out
of 4.0 from a recognized (or accredited) school of engineering. Applicants with a M.S. in other engineering
disciplines, computer science, or physics are also eligible to apply. PdM Ph.D. students are required to have
already obtained a M.S. degree in order to apply to the PdM Ph.D. program. Georgia Tech Ph.D. students
who have not yet completed their Master's degree will have to wait until they are awarded their Master's
degree before they are eligible to transfer into this joint Ph.D. program.
Confirmation of Co-Advisors
Students must also have identified and obtained written approval from co-advisors at both the home and
host universities who agree to supervise the student's activities throughout the duration of their program of
study. The two advisors must belong to the respective faculties of each institution and be qualified to advise
Ph.D. students at their institutions. The, two advisors must jointly confirm their willingness to work together
with the joint Ph.D. applicant. The advisors must be in agreement in the evaluation of the applicant's
capacity to successfully carry out the joint Ph.D. in the proposed area of research. This mandatory pre­
approval of the candidate by the pre-identified co-advisors will be an integral part of the application process
and will ensure a highly specialized level of quality control that does not apply to typical Ph.D. applicants.
G.R.E. and TOEFL
All eligible students must also pass the GRE and the TOEFL examinations (if applicable) with the
minimum test scores required by Georgia Tech for the ECE Ph.D. program.
Transition from Home to Host University and Evaluation
Upon successful evaluation by the home university for the joint Ph.D. program, approved candidates from
the home institution will undergo an evaluation process at the host institution before formal admission to the
joint Ph.D. is granted. This evaluation will be processed through the Ph.D. admissions offices according to
Georgia Institute of Technology
Proposal: Joint Ph.D. in ECE Program
Page 15 of 87
their respective policies and procedures. The host university may choose to also coordinate with an
assigned program director or graduate committee.
Evaluation and approval ofjoint Ph.D. applicants by the host institution will be based on the student's
academic performance and any research that was completed as part of the Master's degree and/or
undergraduate activities. Since these applicants would have already been accepted into the existing Ph.D.
program of the home university at the time of application, the evaluation will also include any relevant
activities as Ph.D. students at the home institution.
7. Availability of Assistantships
Just as in the existing Ph.D. program, all students enrolled in the joint program are eligible for graduate
research assistantships in the laboratories of their faculty advisors based on available funding and their
advisors' discretion.
Beginning in 2010, the European Commission - under the Erasmus Mundus Program - will provide
scholarships for non-European Ph.D. students to study in Europe (as well as some money for European
students to study outside Europe). These scholarships would cover travel, living, and tuition expenses. This
is the first time scholarships will be made available to Ph.D. students. Part of the requirement for these
scholarships is that the students must be part of a joint Ph.D. program. 13

9. Administration of the program:
At Georgia Tech, the joint program will be housed within the School of Electrical and Computer
Engineering. At the Politecnico di Milano, the program will be housed within the Ph.D. School (La Scuola
di Dottorato) and managed together with the following departments: Department of Electronics and
Information, the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Energy.
As no changes are being made to the existing Ph.D. program and the number of participating students will
be minimal, the existing administrative staff in ECE should be sufficient to implement and maintain this
program.
Any additional activities beyond the normal administrative tasks associated with the ECE Ph.D. program
will be coordinated by Professor Anthony Yezzi, School of ECE at Georgia Tech. Coordination of the joint
Ph.D. program at the PdM will be conducted by Professor Enrico Zio, Director of the Doctorate School.
10. Waiver to Degree-Credit Hour: Not applicable.
11. Accreditation:
(Regional and/or disciplinary accreditation requirements associated with the program as applicable.)
The proposed joint program adheres to all the curricular and research requirements of the existing approved
Ph.D. program in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech. It is enhanced only by the
extensive application requirements, the publication requirement, the establishment of co-advisors and co­
committees, and the research collaboration involved in producing a joint Ph.D. dissertation.
Depending on a student's specific program of study, some additional coursework beyond the existing
published Ph.D. course requirements may also be necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of both
universities' curricula. Careful advanced coordination of the joint program of study will be essential so that
the student may avoid having to complete additional courses.
The existing approved ECE Ph.D. degree program was included in Georgia Tech's 2005 SACS
reaffirmation for accreditation review. The same standards and criteria apply to this proposed joint Ph.D.
program.
Georgia Tech will send a notification letter to the SACS Commission on Colleges of this joint program
upon its approval by the Institute's faculty governing bodies and the USG Board of Regents.

b. Library and learning resources (coordinated with Kathy Tomajko, Assistant to the Dean, Georgia
Tech Library, E-mail: kathy.tomajko@library.gatech.edu, Office number: 404-894-4527).
There will be no additional library and learning resource costs associated with this proposed joint
Ph.D. program in that the program will be located on the main Georgia Tech campus and the main
Italian universities' campuses. Library costs will be included in the mandatory student fees and also
in the regular campus budget for refreshing library and learning resources.
User access to electronic resources licensed by the Library must be consistent with the contracts we
have entered into with the vendors of these materials. Access for nearly all of them is limited to
current students, faculty, and staff ("authorized users") of Georgia Tech. For dual-enrollment
programs, students must be officially registered as students of Georgia Tech and currently enrolled
in order to have access to licensed electronic resources. Most vendors allow remote access to their
resources by means of the Library's proxy server for authorized Georgia Tech users, as defined
above. Caveat: Some vendors place restrictions on site locations of users who are allowed access to
their materials (e.g., the materials are licensed for use by only those Georgia Tech users based at the
Atlanta campus). 15
c. Information Technology resources (coordinated with Dwayne Palmer, Manager, Academic and
Research Technologies, E-mail: dwavne.palmer@oit.gatech.edu, Office number: 404-894-6723).
The Office ofInformation Technology confirms that there will be no additional IT costs associated
with this proposed joint Ph.D. program in that the program will be located on the main Georgia Tech
campus and the main Italian universities' campuses. IT costs are included in the student's
technology fees and also in the campus budget for refreshing the IT equipment. 16
d. Distance learning resources (Dr. Nelson Baker, Vice ProvostlDLPE, E-mail:
nelson.baker@dlpe.gatech.edu, Office number: 404-894-9658).
No DLPE resources are required for this program.
Financial Overview
Since the admission of Georgia Tech students into the program will be initiated through the existing Ph.D.
program in the School ofECE (and we predict to have only one to two incoming student applications from
PdM per year), ECE does not foresee the need for any additional institutional resources.
Georgia Tech's current projected costs over a five-year period for administration, personnel, faculty,
library, equipment, laboratories, supplies, technology, and capital expenditures for their existing Ph.D.
program should be more than sufficient to successfully incorporate and manage the new program.

According to the Office ofInstitutional Research and Planning (IRP), during the last five years, the number
of Ph.D. students enrolled in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering on the Atlanta campus has
fluctuated by as much as 197 students per term. 17 As such, the anticipated number of enrollments for the
joint Ph.D. program (see table below) would constitute only 1% - 3% ofthe already existing fluctuation and
thus have very little or no impact on current institutional resources in ECE.

Politecnico di Milano Ph.D. Program Requirements
in either Information Technology or Electrical Engineering
Preliminary Notes about the Ph.D. Program in ECE at PdM: The corresponding ECE Ph.D.
program at PdM is in one the following two (2) disciplines: Information Technology or
Electrical Engineering.
The PdM Ph.D. degree programs in the above disciplines (which correspond to the Ph.D. in
ECE) are managed by the Doctoral School (Scuola di Dottorato - http://www.polimi.it/phd) in
collaboration with the following departments at PdM:
Information Technology PhD Program:
Department of Electronics and Information - http://www.dei.polimi.it/?idlang=eng
Electrical Engineering PhD Program:
Department of Electrical Engineering - http://www.etec.polimi.it/we1c en.html
Department of Energy - http://www.energia.polimi.it/english
About the PdM Ph.D. Doctoral School: The Doctoral School's main aim is to manage the
complex system of the university's educational program and to establish a link between the
academia and the other components of society, such as the production and enterprise field, public
and private bodies, culture and work forces that are attracted by the crucial role of high level
education and research.
The Ph.D. (in all research areas) at PdM is a three-year program in which students are enrolled in
what is known as a "third level" academic program. Once admitted they are obligated to attend
the program throughout the established three-year period and to acquire the specified credits
within such time period. There is an automatic extension to 4 years for joint degrees with
foreign universities, such as Georgia Tech. Ph.D. students are obligated to be enrolled at PdM
for a minimum of 18 months during this three or four year period. Students from a foreign
university enrolled in a joint Ph.D. program with PdM are only required to be enrolled at PdM
for 12 months.
There are approximately 900 doctoral students currently enrolled at PdM. Approximately half of
the accepted students are given full scholarships to participate in the doctorate program. There
are approximately 1400 professors and university researchers at the PdM. The school offers
about 340 third level (highest educational level) courses and an online database which allows
students to choose from a wide range of courses in order to compose their educational plan.
Georgia Institute of Technology
Proposal: Joint Ph.D. in ECE Program
Page 27 of 87
Existing Ph.D. Requirements at PdM: The three or four year program leading to the doctorate
degree requires each student to acquire a total of 180 ECTS 1. These credits are subdivided
according to the following criteria:
•
•
40 to 50 ECTS course credits
130 to 140 ECTS for research activities (approved by the Academic Board)
Students may select from the following types of courses:
• Level 3 courses (for Ph.D. students only): 15-20 ECTS course credits (or 40% of all
course credits) must be taken at this level and at the PdM Campus. The list of Level 3
courses is published annually on the School web site. It is possible to take any of the
courses indicated in this category with prior approval of the faculty board. See
Reference section below for a list ofavailable courses.
• Level 2 Courses (MSc level): 0-10 ECTS course credits (a maximum of 25% of the
total number of course credits to be acquired). Prior approval of the faculty board is
required. See Reference section below for a list ofavailable courses.
• External Courses and Seminars: Doctoral students can earn ECTS credits by attending
external courses and seminars in Italy or abroad with prior approval of faculty board.
Publication Requirement:
Ph.D. students at PdM are also required to publish a minimum of one paper in journals (or
conference proceedings) which have a considerable impact factor (lSI or lSI-like index) in order
to obtain their doctorate degree.
English Language Exam: All doctoral students have to attest their knowledge of the English
language either by completing the IELTS certificate (with minimum score 5.0) or by an
equivalent, or higher, certificate. This certificate permits the acquisition of five specific credits.
This certificate is not requiredfor English native speakers. PdM organizes free English courses
for students that concludes with passing of the exam IELTS.
Italian Language Course: Foreign doctoral students must participate in an Italian language
course or submit a certificate, issued by the Linguistic Center of the Politecnico, attesting their
knowledge of the Italian language. Foreign students do not earn any credit for attending this
course.
PdM Academic Board Approvals: At the end of each academic year, a doctorate student shall
submit to the Academic Board a detailed report on the performance ofhislher educational and
research activities. Based on the Board's evaluation of the credits acquired by the student, the
1 The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a standard for comparing the study attainment
and performance of students of higher education across the European Union and other collaborating European
countries. For successfully completed studies, ECTS credits are awarded. One ECTS corresponds to a workload of
about 25 hours in all EC member countries irrespective of standard or qualification type and is used to facilitate
transfer and progression throughout the European Union. The official conversion used by the Registrar's office at
Georgia Tech is: I ECTS = 0.714 Semester Credit Hours.

Academic Board decides on the student's admission to the following year or the final
examination, depending on whether the student is a first-, second-, or third-year student. A
negative evaluation rendered by the Academic Board--at the end or during the academic year--­
shall entail the loss of the right of to participate in the doctorate program.
Third-year doctorate students are entitled to take the final examination only ifthey have acquired
all the specified credits. Otherwise, the Academic Board can grant a one-year extension, without
scholarship.
Study and Research Outside PdM: A doctorate student may attend training or theoretical
courses at other universities, research institutes, centers and laboratories, in Italy and abroad.
Time spent abroad on these activities cannot exceed 18 months during the three-year period,
subject to the prior written permission ofthe Doctorate Program Coordinator.
With the permission of the Academic Board, doctorate students may take part in teaching and
research support activities within the limits specified by the Board of Directors ofPdM. These
activities must not in any way affect their educational program.

Sample Programs of Study for the Joint Doctor of Philosophy with a major in
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Below are two sample programs which show how a Georgia Tech (home campus) student and a
PdM (home campus) student may satisfy the Georgia Tech Ph.D. program and residency
requirements.
Ph.D. coursework plans are highly individualized and it is the student's responsibility to work
with the academic offices of both institutions to be sure that all degree requirements are met. In
the case of transferrable course hours (column 3 below), the decision about which specific
courses to transfer toward the Georgia Tech curriculum requirements (column 4 below) will rest
with the Georgia Tech ECE graduate office. In accordance with the standard PhD program, all
transferred credits require official approval of the individual courses by the ECE graduate office.
It is important to note that in order to participate in the joint Ph.D. program and complete the
program within four years, eligible students must have already completed the course work
required for a M.S. Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science or
Physics from Georgia Tech or a recognized/accredited school of engineering. Applicants with
M.S. degrees outside of Georgia Tech ECE should carefully consider the joint curriculum
requirements in light of their prior coursework to assess whether the amount of allowed credit
from their prior M.S. coursework will be sufficient to complete the remaining course work
requirements within the time limit. Applicants with non-ECE M.S .degrees are especially
cautioned to pay close attention to this matter as they may receive less credit toward their PhD
coursework requirements compared to students with MS degrees in ECE.

PdM Field Experience and Socialization Opportunities for Ph.D. Students
In addition to the mandatory course and thesis work, the Politecnico di Milano (PdM) also
provides its Ph.D. students with a munber of ways to gain valuable professional and socialization
experience necessary for the success in their chosen professions.
Ph.D. students are encouraged to participate in advanced courses taught by industry, the
international community, and various research institutions as well as attend workshops and
conferences where they can present their work and discuss the relevant results.
Starting in 2009, Ph.D. students at PdM are also required to publish a minimum of one paper in
journals (or conference proceedings) which have a considerable impact factor (lSI or lSI-like
index) in order to obtain their final doctorate degree.
The Ph.D. School of the Politecnico di Milano offers a wide range of Programs, in all fields of
Architecture, Engineering and Industrial Design. The individual Ph.D. Programs provide
curricula of education in and practice to research, specific to the different areas of applications
covered.
To complement the curricula of the individual Programs, the Ph.D. School itself offers directly a
number of educational activities aimed at providing the Ph.D. candidates with opportunities of
multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural experiences
(See http://pcsiwal2.rett.polimi.it/~phdweb/eng/corsi/fr corsi.htm for a list of courses).
The participation to these initiatives is regarded as an added value to the Ph.D. candidate who is
stimulated to further develop the necessary creativity and ability to communicate in qualified
international academic, scientific and industrial environments, solve problems and handle
conflicts in uncertain environments, manage failures and learn from them, acquire information
from different sources and synthesize the relevant knowledge, develop leadership and balance
teamwork in the management and development of research under the adequate principles of
ethics. The Ph.D. School also offers a special course for Ph.D. students aimed at teaching how to
write research and technical proposals to obtain funding.
In addition, the Ph.D. organizes a conference cycle characterized by the excellence level of the
lecturers, and by the interdisciplinary character of the topics they present. The list of forthcoming
conferences can be found at the website:

Georgia Tech School of ECE Ph.D. Admissions Requirements
http://www.ece.gatech.eduiacademics/graduate/apply.html#Ph.D.
Admission Requirements
The School of ECE offers admission to all applicants who have shown the highest potential for
successful graduate level study and are the most likely to contribute substantially to their
academic fields through teaching, research, or professional practice.
Most students who are accepted into ECE's graduate program have a degree in electrical and/or
computer engineering. Applicants with degrees in other engineering disciplines, computer
science, or physics are eligible to apply. Qualified applicants with degrees in disciplines other
than electrical and/or computer engineering should expect to take undergraduate ECE courses as
prerequisites before enrolling in ECE graduate courses. Persons with engineering technology
(EET) degrees or degrees or persons with non-engineering degrees not mentioned above must
first earn a B.S.E.E. or B.S.Cmp.E. before applying to the School ofECE graduate program.
Entrance to either graduate program is very competitive and meeting the minimum
requirements outlined below does not guarantee acceptance.
Students who meet the minimum requirements outlined below and wish to apply to the School of
ECE must complete the online application. Applications for admission are accepted by the
deadlines listed below for entrance at the beginning of any of the fall and spring semesters. For
master of science students, fall term admission is recommended for optimum course availability.
Summer semester admissions are very limited and therefore not encouraged.
Master's Program (Including Distance Learning)
Students with a Bachelor of Science degree as described above and with a minimum grade point
average of 3.25 out of 4.0 from a recognized/accredited school of engineering are eligible to
apply for admission.
Ph.D. Program
Students with bachelor of science or master of science degrees as described above with a
minimum grade point average of3.5 out of 4.0 from a recognized/accredited school of
engineering are eligible to apply for admission.

Proposal: Joint Ph.D. in ECE Program
Page 38 of 87
Graduate Record Examination (GRE)
The GRE is required of all applicants. All applicants must submit scores for the following three
parts: Verbal, Quantitative, and Analytical Writing. GRE test scores are an important part of the
application and applicants should strive to submit the best possible scores. The average GRE
scores for applicants accepted into the fall 2007 semester ECE graduate program were:
Verbal: 542
Quantitative: 774
alytical Writing: .
The School of ECE program admission committee considers several factors when making
admission decisions: academic performance at prior institutions (GPAs); GRE test scores;
statement of purpose; and letters of recommendation. All of these factors are important. An
application may be strengthened if the GRE scores are at or above these average values. If GRE
. scores are lower than these averages, chances for admission will be reduced and, if scores are
very low (ie., below 400V, 700Q, and 3.5AW), the application will be declined. Furthermore,
meeting or exceeding these average numbers for GRE scores does not guarantee admission.
GRE test scores that are more than five years old will not be accepted. If your GRE scores
are more than five years old, the applicant must retake the GRE test. Do not send photo
copies of GRE test scores; GT and the School of ECE only accepts official GRE scores
received from ETS.
How to Apply
Start the application process by going to:
http://www.gradadmiss.gatech.edu/applvJapply now.php

pursue. Applicants to ECE are required on the online application to identify two of the
ECE Technical Interest Groups in which graduate studies will be concentrated. Please
review each of the groups under the research section for complete descriptions.
Additional descriptive terms, such as "computer vision" or "robotics," may also be
included in the statement of purpose. Descriptions should be brief and use generally
accepted key words to aid in database searches. The statement of purpose is important in
the admissions process. This statement should be concise, outline a plan for graduate
studies, and indicate why Georgia Tech is the right graduate program to meet this plan. It
is important to include technical interest area information in the space allotted (400
words) on the in the online form. If applicable, faculty with similar research interests,
who may be a potential research advisor, should also be noted as well.
• Submission and application fee payment.
Step 2. Letters of Recommendation
Three letters of recommendation are required, and it is recommended that at least two of the
recommendations come from faculty who are familiar with the applicant's academic
performance. The letters of recommendation must be submitted online. Information regarding
the submission of the letters is given in the directions for submitting your online application.
ECE requires online letters of recommendation. Paper or downloadable recommendation
forms are not accepted by ECE.
Step 3. Mailing supporting documents
Instructions for mailing required documents are included in the directions given at the beginning
of the online application process.
Documents to be mailed should be sent to:

• The TOEFL department code for ECE is 66.
• Proof of financial support.
Application Status
After completing the online application, applicants will be sent an email with instructions on
how to log on to the "ECE Application Status" interface. This interface is controlled by the
School of ECE and will provide information on the receipt of required application materials.
Applicants will be able to confirm receipt by ECE of letters of recommendation, official test
scores, transcripts, etc. Use this interface to monitor your application process to ensure it is
complete since the complete application must be received by ECE before an admission decision
will be made. Because some of the documents must be processed and certified by more than one
GT office, please be patient. It may take several weeks for some confirmations to appear on the
ECE Application Status interface.
Note: The Georgia Tech Graduate Admissions also has an application status interface that is
separate from the ECE interface. ECE applicants should use the ECE Application Status
interface to be able to view complete information including the letters of recommendation. To

defined at a later date and approved by the Faculty Committee of the reference Ph.D., after
having started the Ph.D. activity, according to the regulations of the Ph.D. School).
The 100 points available to the Committee for evaluation of each candidate are divided as
follows:
- curriculum: max. 50 points;
- motivation letter: max. 15 points;
- illustrative document of the development of a possible research in the area of the Ph.D. course
applied for: max. 35 points.
The applicant is considered as qualified if he/she attains a total score of at least 60 out of 100
points.
