5. Research and Dissertations
1. After acquiring required credits, the candidates are eligible for undertaking research on thesis or together with the courses study according to the arrangement of their supervisor.
2. Opening report should be performed in the 1st semester of the 2nd year. Selecting subject should combine with the foundation of this major and the important technique problem of the national economy. Opening report should be more than 5000 words, including the status quo of the development, the significance of the selecting subject, the research content, the schedule of the thesis work and the prospective result. Opening report should arrange more than 3 high-grade post teachers to judge, it is an opening report.
3. The medium-term examination should be performed in the middle of the period of the thesis. The students should present a written report for checking the progress of the thesis study. If there is a biggish departure of the thesis work, a yellow warning will be present.
4. The thesis should focus on the creativity, correctivity, and academic and appliable point. Every student should at least publish one paper in domestic core journals relevant to the research project and should be the first author in the publication or a applying patent(second applier) for apply the dissertation of the thesis.
5. After the thesis finished and recognize by 3 high-grade post teachers including the advisor, it is allowed to perform the pre-answer and the judge with the expert of the same major.
