Program
Description
The Computer Engineering Department offers Doctor of Philosophy Degree (PhD) in computer engineering, providing a research-oriented education in preparation for a research, industrial or entrepreneurial career. The Ph.D. degree
program is designed so that it offers students the theoretical, practical, and professional knowledge that will enable them to pursue discovery of new knowledge. In addition, the Ph.D. degree program is designed so that it allows students to conduct visible high-quality research that will advance the state of
knowledge; and serves to train, motivate, and inspire our graduates to become leaders in their fields. The Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Engineering offers students an opportunity for study in a broad range of areas in computer engineering.
The Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Engineering offers students
interdisciplinary research opportunities in areas related to the college of Engineering's strategic directions in health care and medicine, security, energy and natural resources.
The objective of the Computer Engineering Ph.D. program is to educate highly qualified researchers required for the expansion of fundamental knowledge and technological innovation through research and development , as well as the needs of institutions of higher learning.Students pursue theoretical and empirical studies in a topic area determined by their interests, faculty research areas, and departmental research facilities. External collaborations with industry and government laboratories are encouraged.
