Electrical Engineering Doctoral Program
Doctoral Handbook
Current and past Ph.D. dissertations explore the areas of
digital architectures and design, microelectronics (materials and devices
of elemental and compound
semiconductors, circuit design, modeling, testing, and reliability);
communications and signal processing (communication networks, packet
switching, digital video and HDTV, ISDN, optical fiber communication,
satellite communications, image processing, wavelets, speech recognition,
microprocessors and VLSI for signal processing); systems and controls;
solid state material and device processing and characterization;
electro-optics; electromagnetics, microwave and millimeter-wave
engineering (antennas, devices, systems); CAD and micro-processors; and
biomedical engineering.
The doctoral programs in Electrical Engineering and Engineering Science
at USF are quite flexible, with much of the responsibility for course
selection and accountability delegated to the student's supervisory
committee. Specific requirements for Ph.D. degrees in Engineering are
detailed in the USF Graduate School Catalog. Briefly these are as
follows:
In addition to meeting all of the requirements of the University of South
Florida and the Electrical Engineering Department, prospective doctoral students
are only admitted when a faculty member in the Department has reviewed the
application and indicated a willingness to become the applicants
mentor. Therefore, admission to the doctoral program is highly selective and
many qualified candidates can not be admitted.
