Course programme
The doctorate degree in computer engineering is awarded in recognition of
mastery in the field of computer engineering and upon demonstrating the
ability to make fundamental contributions to knowledge in that field. The
Ph.D. recipient will be capable of making a continuing effort toward the
advancement of knowledge and achievement in research and other scholarly
activities. This program is appropriate for those students with a master's
degree in computer and/or electrical engineering who are interested in
pursuing an academic or industrial research career.
The Ph.D. program requires a minimum of 84 credit hours beyond the bachelor's
degree, including the master's degree studies. A minimum of 24 credits are
devoted to the student's research work, and the remaining credits are
devoted to course work in computer and electrical engineering and in basic
sciences, such as computers, mathematics, and physics. The selection of
courses is considered and approved by the student's adviser and the
department's graduate program director on the basis of relevance of course
content, rather than along a predetermined sequence announced by the
department. All students must complete the two doctoral seminar courses
(ECE 695 and 696), preferable early in their Ph.D. programs. Generally, it
takes a minimum of three years of study beyond the master's degree to
obtain a Ph.D. Upon admission to graduate study leading to the Ph.D.
degree, each student is assigned an academic adviser, who many eventually
serve as the thesis advisor and guide the student's research.
The department requires a qualifying examination within the first three
semesters of full-time Ph.D. study. This is an oral examination consisting
of three sessions in the area of digital and computer systems and one
session in a minor area in the field of electrical engineering. This
examination is intended to explore both the depth and breadth of the
student's academic abilities. At an early stage in the student's research
program, and usually about a year after passing the qualifying
examination, a comprehensive examination is held in the area of digital
and computer systems. The comprehensive examination takes the form of a
defense of a thesis research proposal. At this time a thesis committee is
appointed by the graduate program director, in consultation with the
thesis adviser, to guide the remainder of the program. A written
dissertation, oral defense, and publication requirement constitute
completion of the Ph.D. degree. The defense takes place no earlier than
one year after passing the comprehensive examination. Dissertation format
and deadlines are established by the Graduate College.
