D.Eng. in Electrical and Computer Engineering (Research Program)
The core requirement of this program is the completion of a substantial research project, which is written up as a thesis. Students are expected to critically investigate an approved topic and to demonstrate an understanding of research methods appropriate to their field.
Students will be working alongside a team of faculty and researchers at the school of engineering on cutting edge-research. Students will be provided with the background needed and comprehensive skills training. Strong emphases are put on communication skills, research methodology and technical writing as well.

Course Descriptions
PL 171 Research Methodology
The course focuses on introducing students to research topics and methodology, including critical thinking, scientific responsibilities, academic ethics, scientific writing, and publication. They will be trained on oral and written technical presentations on individual research, journal articles, or design projects
PL 172 Seminars
The course focuses on how to think and analyze systematically for research and presentation. Also, in this class, students may be required to attend seminars and presentations related to their research topics such as conference presentations and workshops. The student will be required to summarize and present the outcome of his/her experience. Several guest speakers and excursions may be arranged for the students in this class. Moreover, knowledge on entrepreneurship may be included.
ECE 600 Thesis
