The PhD in electrical engineering is granted based on demonstrated research excellence resulting in an original dissertation that advances the field.
Graduate studies are available across six specialized disciplines:
control systems
power and energy systems
electromagnetics, antennas and microwave circuits
electronic and mixed-signal circuit design
physical electronics and photonics
signal processing and communications
The power and energy systems program within the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering features six advanced undergraduate and fourteen graduate courses covering power system analysis, generation and distribution, system dynamics, energy conversion, electrical machinery, power electronics, high voltage technology, and nuclear power engineering.
ASU spearheads the Power Systems Engineering Research Center (PSERC), a collaborative industry-university initiative supported by both private and public funding. Students engage with industry projects, professional conferences, hands-on labs, and PSERC-supported research. Additional PSERC details are available at http://www.pserc.org
Additionally, ASU's power engineering curriculum participates in the NSF-sponsored FREEDM center, which focuses on developing next-generation power distribution systems using solid-state technologies and incorporating renewable energy sources.
