The annual EDEE Thesis Award honors an “outstanding and remarkable” PhD thesis work in the field of electrical engineering from an EDEE student. Each year, EDEE Thesis Distinctions are also granted to a selection of very high quality theses, in order to highlight the doctoral candidates’ research work and their scientific merit. For each doctoral program, nominated graduates are selected on the basis of their oral examination. Then the program committee evaluates the nominees and rewards the best 8%.
