Each student in a MASc or PhD program in the School of Biomedical Engineering will have a supervisory committee consisting of their thesis supervisor or co-supervisors plus a minimum of two faculty members appointed to the Faculty of Graduate Studies, one of whom must be a member of the School of Biomedical Engineering and another with a primary appointment in another department. The supervisory committee should normally be formed within four months of initial registration. The supervisory committee will meet at least twice per year (including an initial meeting immediately following the formation of the committee), or when called by any member of the committee or the student.
