1. QE 분야별 과목

분야	과목명
제 1분야 : Theory	- CSED331 알고리즘 (Algorithms) - CSED341 오토마타 및 형식언어 (Automata &Formal Languages)
제 2분야 : Computer Systems	- CSED273 디지털시스템설계 (Digital System Design) - CSED311 컴퓨터구조 (Computer Architecture)

2. 시험 기회

입학 후 4학기 이내에 박사자격시험에 합격하여야 하며, 2회 불합격 시는 제적 조치한다.

다만, 지도교수와 본인의 희망에 따라 통합 포기 서류를 제출하고, 석사 졸업요건을 갖춘

경우에는 석사로 졸업할 수 있다.

3. 시험과목 선택

총 6과목 중 4과목을 선택할 수 있고 선택 기준은 다음과 같다.

- 분야별 1과목 반드시 선택

- 선택하지 않은 3과목(1~3분야) 중 1과목 선택

4. 합격기준

선택한 4과목 모두 과목별 합격기준을 통과하여야 한다.

5. 입학 전 QE 성적 적용

▸ 학사의 경우:

- POSTECH 졸업예정자인 학사과정 학생이 QE 시험에 응시한 후 영어 미 통과로

입학이 유예되었을 경우 QE 성적은 인정하지 아니한다. (학부생으로 간주)

- 대학원 입학시험에 합격하여 3월 입학 예정인 경우 QE시험에 응시할 수 있으며,

QE 성적은 3월 입학 후 그대로 인정한다. (입학 직전 시험기회 부여-대학원생으로 간주)

▸ 석사의 경우: 석사과정 학생이 QE 시험에 응시한 후 대학원에 진학하였을 때 QE성적은

과목별로 합격을 그대로 인정한다. (대학원생으로 간주)

6. 적용학번 : 2013학번부터 적용한다.  끝.

※ "Program Language" QE Preparation Tip

(from Prof. Sungwoo Park)

The textbook for "Program Language" course is available at the following link:

http://www.postech.ac.kr/~gla/cs321/notes/all.pdf

The exact scope of the "Program Language" QE is detailed in the preface of the textbook. Exam questions will be derived only from the sections listed in the preface.

No actual exam questions from the previous QE's can be provided. However, it is helpful to review the actual exam questions from the midterm and final exams of the "Program Language" course, available at the following link:

Department of Computer Science & Engineering

Qualifying Exam (QE) Requirements

*2013.11.29

1. Exam subjects

Area	Subject (Course number and name)
Area 1: Theory	CSED331 Algorithms CSED341 Automata & Formal Languages
Area 2: Computer Systems	CSED273 Digital Systems Design CSED311 Computer Architecture
Area 3: System Programming	CSED312 Operating Systems CSED321 Programming Languages

2. Deadline for passing the QE

- You must pass the QE within the first four semesters of study.

- If you fail the QE twice, you will be dismissed from the program.

- Students in MS-PhD program who meets requirements for a MS degree may apply for

withdrawal from MS-PhD program and graduate with an MS degree.

3. Selection of exam subjects

- You must select four from a total of six subjects.

- You must select at least one subject from each area.

4. Requirements for passing the QE

- You must score above the cut-off point in all four exam subjects.

5. QE taken before entrance to the PhD or MS-PhD integrated program

• Undergraduate students:

- If a POSTECH undergraduate student fails to receive a bachelor's degree due to unsatisfactory English competence and his/her admission to the graduate program is deferred, the QE result obtained while in the undergraduate program will not be recognized.

- If a POSTECH undergraduate student has passed the entrance exam for the graduate program and is scheduled to enter the program in March, he/she may take the QE and the QE result will be recognized upon entrance to the program.

• Master's program students:

- If a master's program student takes the QE, the result will be recognized after he/she enters the PhD or MS-PhD integrated program.

6. The new QE requirements apply to students who enter the PhD or MS-PhD program in or after 2013.
