Doctor's degree Electrical Engineering - Colorado School of Mines

Doctor's degree Electrical Engineering from Colorado School of Mines is a Campus Ph.D Electrical Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. The engineering program offers a graduate multidisciplinary education with the option of including a specialization in electrical engineering. The program demands academic rigor and depth, yet also addresses the real-world problems of advanced engineering and technology. The choice of research topics and course offerings prepares graduates for a range of industrial or academic careers. Research The Division of Engineering is always on the cutting edge of research. Much of the research in the electrical engineering specialty involves applications at the intersections of the traditional engineering disciplines. Our main research focus lies in the following two areas: Sensing, Communications and Control: An interdisciplinary research area that encompasses the fields of control systems, wireless communications, signal and image processing, robotics, and mechatronics. Focus areas include intelligent and learning control systems, fault detection and system identification, compressive sensing, wireless communication circuits, computer vision and pattern recognition, sensor development, mobile manipulation and autonomous systems. Applications can be found in renewable energy and power systems, materials processing, sensor and control networks, bio-engineering, intelligent structures and geosystems. Energy Systems and Power Electronics: This area is focused on both fundamental and applied research in the interrelated fields of conventional electric power systems and electric machinery, renewable energy and distributed generation, energy economics and policy issues, power quality, power electronics and drives. The overall scope of research encompasses a broad spectrum of electrical energy applications including investor-owned utilities, rural electric associations, manufacturing facilities, regulatory agencies and consulting engineering firms. Doctor of Philosophy The PhD program requires 72 credit hours beyond the bachelor's degree . All doctoral students must pass a qualifying examination, which is intended to gauge the student's capability to pursue research in Engineering Systems. Students must also successfully write and defend a dissertation of his/her research. Specific degree requirements for the PhD are listed below.
