Students enrolled in the Electrical & Computer Engineering PhD program collaborate with faculty mentors who push them to deepen their expertise through rigorous coursework, pioneering research in our state-of-the-art laboratories, specialized graduate seminars, and complementary studies in fields like mathematics, computer science, and physics.
Earning a PhD in electrical and computer engineering involves completing two minor concentrations, participating in seminars, passing diagnostic and area examinations, and successfully developing and defending a dissertation.
During your electrical and computer engineering doctoral studies, you'll partner with our committed research faculty and industry/government collaborators to investigate pressing challenges and develop innovative solutions: enhancing wireless network performance, creating advanced data security methods, refining medical diagnostics and wearable technology, designing embedded systems, advancing robotics, or building sustainable smart cities and renewable energy systems.
