Program Description
The PhD Computer Science and Engineering curriculum applies computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions. It includes substantial coverage of algorithms and complexity, computer science theory, concepts of multiple programming languages, software development, and engineering principles.
The PhD curriculum builds upon the MS CSE program by adding additional coursework and research opportunities for students wishing to pursue a PhD in Computer Science and Engineering.
Both programs have a firm engineering foundation that encompasses discovery-based education utilizing an experiential earning approach. As a part of both curriculums, students will complete projects in areas that emphasize computing theory, communication, teamwork, critical thinking, and engineering professionalism. As part of the PhD program, students will also conduct novel research in many diverse computer science related areas. The PhD program's flexibility allows students to design their course of study / research from a diverse pool of courses and research opportunities in software, computer science and computer engineering domains such as web and mobile applications, embedded systems, cybersecurity, machine learning, systems, and other interdisciplinary areas.
