Ph.D. Program
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers a program of graduate study leading to the Doctor of Philosophy Degree. The program has three basic components:
- Selected courses, primarily in electrical engineering
- Examinations, written and oral
- Independent research culminating in a dissertation
Each student’s plan of study is individually formulated around these components through consultation with an Advisory Committee.
Funded research opportunities exist for doctoral students in the following multidisciplinary centers, laboratories, and industry-sponsored programs:
- Center for Pulsed Power and Power Electronics
- Nano Tech Center (Maddox Laboratory)
- Computer Vision and Image Analysis Laboratory
- Applied Vision Laboratory
- Wireless Communication Systems Laboratory
- Advanced Vehicular Engineering Laboratory
- Neuroimaging, Cognition, and Engineering Laboratory
- Microwave and Antenna Laboratory
- Program for Semiconductor Product Engineering
- Advanced Electronic Systems Engineering Program
Our requirements for the PhD degree are given on the following pages. Some of these requirements are university-wide and can also be found in the Texas Tech University Catalog under Graduate school.
