Overview
Students at Carnegie Mellon University will create and disseminate knowledge of electrical and computer systems during the course of obtaining the Ph.D. Electrical and Computer Engineering degree.
Features
- Upon enrollment in the department, students, with the help of a faculty advisor, define an education and research program that is consistent with their background and is best suited to their own academic goals.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- Students in the Ph.D. program without a M.S. degree and students in the Ph.D. program who have an ECE M.S. degree from Carnegie Mellon must take a total of 8 ECE or related courses (96 units) at Carnegie Mellon.
- At least 6 of these 8 courses must be graduate courses. Courses taken at Carnegie Mellon to satisfy the M.S. degree course requirements may count toward the Ph.D. course requirements.
