The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program in Electrical Engineering prepares graduates for industrial or academic research in one or more of these areas: Communications and Electromagnetics, Computer Engineering, Digital Signal Processing, Electronics and Electronic Materials, Power Systems, Solid State Devices and Telecommunications and Networking.

The PhD in Electrical Engineering is by research only. Candidates can choose from Communications and Electromagnetics, Computer Engineering, Digital Signal Processing, Electronics and Electronic Materials, Power Systems, Solid State Devices and Telecommunications and Networking.

The outcomes for the PhD Electrical engineering program will plant many opportunities firmly before the candidates, and it'll be up to each to reach out and take them. It's no easy road to travel, though; getting an Electrical engineering degree at the doctoral level will require tremendous amounts of work and effort over a significant amount of time, as do all PhDs.

A PhD in Electrical engineering would require a strong knowledge of scientific and mathematic principles, specifically in areas of electronics, mathematics, computer systems, telecommunications, and power systems among others, along with a strong knowledge of ways to apply those principles to real-world problems.

Taking graduate courses, which could provide this kind of background is a good idea for those who are interested in the PhD in Electrical engineering. The candidate is expected to make a contribution to their chosen field and body of knowledge
