Admission Requirements
For admission to graduate study in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the minimum requirements are:
- A bachelor’s degree in electrical or computer engineering or computer science from an accredited college or university. Outstanding applicants in other technical or scientific fields will be considered, though special make-up coursework over and above the normal requirements for a graduate degree may be required.

Overview
This doctoral program gives students the toolkit for addressing a wide variety of challenges. Graduates of a computer engineering PhD program are well-prepared for careers in academic, research and development, and leadership roles in technology-driven industries. The program cultivates advanced critical thinking skills, enabling graduates to push the boundaries of technological innovation and contribute to the evloution of computing systems.
Admissions Requirements
For admission to graduate study in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the minimum requirements are:
- A bachelor’s degree in electrical or computer engineering or computer science from an accredited college or university. Outstanding applicants in other technical or scientific fields will be considered, though special make-up coursework over and above the normal requirements for a graduate degree may be required.
- A minimum grade point average of B in all courses in engineering, mathematics, and science.
- Acceptance by both the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Graduate School.
- To apply for the program, the online application must be completed. Hard copies will not be accepted.
Degree Requirements
Major Requirement: Major area requirements are satisfied by completing at least three (3) courses within
a selected major area, with a minimum GPA of 3.5.
See preapproved lists of courses for each area:
- Communications and Signal Processing
- Computer Engineering
- Power Engineering
- Circuits and VLSI
A student without electrical or computer engineering background may petition the graduate
committee in writing to take a non-traditional major written exam in a noval subject
of interest to electrical and computer engineering. Petitions must include a letter
of support from their intended PhD advisor.
Minor Requirement: adds an extra degree of breadth to the student's PhD education, and makes possible
interdisciplinary research.
A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required for at least one course (for MS entry students) or
two courses (for BS entry students) selected from the lists corresponding to areas
other than the chosen major area:
- Communications and Signal Processing
- Semiconductor Devices and Quantum Electronics
- Circuits and VLSI
- Computer Engineering
- Power Engineering
1. A minimum of 14 regular courses (42 regular graduate course credits) beyond the
BS degree (including courses taken to satisfy major and minor requirements). The choice
must have the prior approval of the designated faculty academic advisor. Any non-ESE
course will need prior approval given by the Graduate Program Director before a student
can register.
2. The ESE 697 Practicum in Teaching (3 credits) is required to fulfill the teaching
requirement. Students must be advanced to candidacy before enrolling in this course.
During the semester in which a student enrolls in the teaching practicum (ESE 697),
PhD students must register for 6 credits of ESE 699 and 3 credits of ESE 697.
3. At least 15 credit hours total of ESE 699 for conducting focused research under
faculty supervision.
4. The courses ESE 597, ESE 598, ESE 599, ESE 698, and ESE 699 are not counted as
regular courses.
5. Courses presented under the title ESE 670 Topics in Electrical Sciences that have
different subject matters, and are offered as formal lecture courses, are considered
different regular courses but may not be counted more than twice.
6. Prior MS degree in ECE or related area can reduce the course requirements down
to six (6) regular courses.
After successfully completing all major/minor course requirements (except ESE 697),
the student is eligible to be recommended for Advancement to Candidacy. Students can
find more information about this process by reviewing the Departmental Advancement Request Form.
Students may Advance to Candidacy before completing the Preliminary Examination.
Our department abides by the Graduate School Calendar deadlines. Students must ensure that they are requesting to advance in a timely manner.
After advancing to candidacy, students must enroll in 9 credits of ESE 699 to maintain
full-time status.
Please note: If for some special reason, an advanced to candidacy student must change their advisor,
it is required that the student spends at least two (2) more years on the new research
for the dissertation with the new advisor. Shorter completion time is allowed if the
previous and new advisors of the student have reached a written agreement. The formal
switching of advisors and the agreement between the old and new advisors (if any)
must be documented at the time of switching by the Graduate Program Coordinator to
be effective. This policy is in effect in order to ensure the high quality of our
PhD program, and the above rule will be enforced when the Department submits the Defense
form to the Graduate School.
A student is recommended to pass the Preliminary Examination not more than 1.5 years
after Advancement to Candidacy. Both a thesis topic and the thesis background area
are emphasized. Students must pass the Preliminary Examination at least ONE year prior
to their Defense. You can read more about this process by reviewing the Departmental Prelim Request Form.
At least five (5) full days prior to the examination date, the student must deliver
to each committee member a readable copy of the following:
- Formal research proposal – proposal shall include a brief abstract (not to exceed
200 words), a table of contents, and within a standard format of Introduction, Discussion,
etc., an outline of the related state-of-the-art, the specific research goals, methods
to be followed, preliminary results (if any), prospects for success, alternatives
if success is in doubt, etc. Except where results already obtained are sufficient
to justify a near-final draft of one or more papers to be submitted or of whole chapters
in the final thesis, the formal proposal should be at least 50 pages.
- A brief Vita to include name, education, date of admission to ECE graduate program,
and area working on. Part-time students and any students who have interrupted their
graduate studies to seek full-time employment must include their record of employment
throughout the period. Any awards, significant publications, or other professional
recognition should also be included.
Students must pass the Preliminary Exam at least ONE (1) year prior to their Defense.
For more information about scheduling your defense and the requirements, please review
this Departmental Defense Request Form.
1. Types of Assistantships and Funding – PhD students may receive Research Assistant
(RA), Teaching Assistant (TA), or Graduate Assistant (GA) support. All students with
an assistantship receive a Graduate Tuition Scholarship. Funding is typically prioritzed for PhD students.
2. Students who have advanced to candidacy and have been fully supported (RA/TA/GA)
all semesters prior to advancement remain eligible for tuition support. State (TA)
support is limited to four (4) years total. Additionally, students who do not pass
the Preliminary Exam (Prelim) within 1.5 years after advancing to candidacy may lose tuition scholarship eligibility.
3. Assistantship support is competitive and based on academic progress, research performance,
evaluations, and departmental funding availability. All TAs, RAs, and GAs are expected
to act professionally and responsibly, as well as fulfill assigned duties reliably.
Failure to do so may result in corrective action and/or loss of financial support.
4. Full-time assistants work up to 20 hours per week. Workload may vary during the
semester. If workload exceeds expectations, students should consult with their supervisor.
