Electrical/Electronic Engineering

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) in Electrical/Electronic

Engineering Requirements:

The Doctor of Philosophy Degree and Doctor of Science Degrees in Electrical/Electronic Engineering require the completion of a minimum of 60 academic units of graduate work beyond the Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a related physical science curriculum. 48 of the 60 units are composed of course work and the remaining 12 units are for the Doctoral Dissertation.

Prerequisites:

An earned Master's degree or its equivalent in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a related area earned from an accredited or state-approved college or university.

Prescriptive Education:

40 of the 60 units must he taken as completed course work and the Doctoral Dissertation from the Institute as a minimum.

Transfer Credits:

A maximum of 8 units may he accepted in transfer from accredited colleges/universities or other state-approved institutions.

Professional Experience:

A maximum of 12 units in lieu of life-work / professional credit can he awarded to students enrolled in any Doctoral program.

Curricula for Doctoral Degrees:

In addition to approved graduate level work taken prior to admission, requirements include groups of course work which support the students' specialization and establish a minimum of one (1) independent research project, and two (2) graduate level courses from two different doctoral specialization areas, i.e. independent reading and/or directed research. A minimum of one (1) one (1) course in theory and practice of empirical research is also required.

Course Work Requirements:

Unless otherwise indicated, each of the following courses is valued at four (4) units:

EE518 Digital Filters
