This school is absolutely not one that you would want to pursue a PhD in Systems Engineering at. The advisers do not advise, when you send them your work it can take 2 months or better to hear back from them. When you do it is usually to change your research interest into their interest. If you are off campus forget about it. The faculty makes zero investment to work with the developing plan and the pedagogical rigors book is a sham. Qualifying exams are supposed to be given in the first 2-3 courses and many go well beyond the actual coursework being completed. If you have friends or family who know the faculty then you are good, if not don't surprised if the faculty acts disinterested. If this has happened to you there, it isn't you. Do not let this institution break your spirit or cause you to lose sight of your dream and research interest. At one point there was no orientation at all and the advisers told you what they wanted research done in to support their interests and not your own. Again, do not let this institution lead you away from your love of your topic or your passion for your dream. If you are willing to work hard, sacrifice and pursue your goal don't waste your time or money here. The arrogance and blatant disrespectful faculty is a joke. There are many schools out there that will give you a good, fair, supportive and even challenging program.
