College of Engineering
The research-oriented Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering gives students deep knowledge in a subfield of the discipline. They participate in the discovery and generation of new knowledge and technology through research and engage in local, national and international collaborations that provide opportunities for further research and technical training, and developing professional networks.
Work on collaborative research projects with industry, national labs and other universities
Conduct research in state-of-the-art labs, including a 6,000-square-foot nanofabrication facility
Fellowships, scholarships and graduate assistantships for research and teaching are available
It wasn’t just the classes that prepared alumnus Rodolfo Aguirre for an engineering career with aerospace company Blue Origin. The research opportunities and supportive professors in Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s doctoral program in electrical and computer engineering taught him how to spot gaps in research and develop new ideas — skills he uses to find novel solutions to challenges that may arise when sending rockets to the moon.
Graduates of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Ph.D. are prepared for careers in industry, government research laboratories, academia or to start their own companies. Recent doctoral graduates have been hired by Blue Origin, SpaceX, Sandia National Laboratories, the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Dubai, Lockheed Martin, Mercedes Benz and NASA.
