Computer Engineering University of Cyprus

Overview

The Computer Engineering, PhD course from the University of Cyprus consists of advanced studies and research leading to new/original knowledge and significant contribution beyond the current stateof-the-art in the chosen research area.

The successful completion of the candidates’ research is demonstrated via their doctoral dissertations, which must showcase both the ability to perform independent research as well as the candidates’ competence towards the production of new knowledge and novel results that are of the highest quality and academic standards and exhibits academic excellence. A Ph.D. dissertation in the field of Computer Engineering is expected to present original research of advanced level for a significant problem in the field, and should provide the basis for publishable contributions to the research literature in the field.

When graduating from the Ph.D. program in Computer Engineering, students should have the following abilities and skills:

• Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to identify, formulate, and solve computer engineering problems.
• Advanced knowledge of electrical and electronic components and their use in
• computing systems.
• Ability to model, design, analyze and evaluate components and systems.
• Understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic,
• environmental, and societal context.
• Use modern engineering tools and techniques to successfully practice the
• computer engineering profession in a broad spectrum of areas.
• Use oral and written communication to convey technical concepts and research results to engineers and non-engineers, in the form of conference papers, journal papers, and/or oral presentations.
• Achieve and demonstrate a deep-knowledge of the discipline and significantly
• advance the state of art through original research.
• Ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems using techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
• Ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs and to design, conduct experiments as well as analyze and interpret data.
• Ability to address advanced engineering problems.
• Ability to function in, and lead multidisciplinary teams and to communicate
• effectively.
•  Ability to identify emerging trends and challenges in Computer Engineering, and apply the acquired knowledge in mathematics, science, and engineering, to
• address the technological challenges of the future.
• Adhere to the highest professional and ethical responsibility standards.
• Broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global/societal context. Recognition of the need for and ability to engage in lifelong learning.
