计算机工程学提供以下领域的研究机会：计算机通信和网络，数据科学，多媒体，存储系统，并行和分布式计算和体系结构，用于测试的容错计算和设计，计算机辅助设计和测试工具，VLSI设计和技术，高速网络和体系结构，智能系统和控件以及实时系统及其体系结构。旨在获得哲学博士学位（PhD）学位的工作旨在为候选人提供有关其专业领域的全面而全面的知识以及研究方法的培训。授予学位的最终依据应是候选人对广泛研究领域的主题的掌握以及证明的进行独立研究的能力。
Computer Engineering offers research opportunities in the areas of computer communications and networks, data science, multimedia, storage systems, parallel and distributed computing and architecture, fault-tolerant computing and design for testing, computer-aided design and testing tools, VLSI design and technologies, high-speed networks and architecture, intelligent systems and controls, and real-time systems and their architecture.<br>Work leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) is designed to give the candidate a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of his or her professional field and training in methods of research. The final basis for granting the degree shall be the candidate's grasp of the subject matter of a broad field of study and a demonstrated ability to do independent research. In addition, the candidate must have acquired the ability to express thoughts clearly and forcefully in both oral and written languages. The degree is not granted solely for the completion of coursework, residence and technical requirements, although these must be met.
