ECSE offers Bachelors, Masters, and Doctoral degrees in Electrical Engineering, and Computer, andSystems Engineering. ECSE curriculum builds a broad foundation in math, science, humanity and social science, and multiple disciplines in engineering, while allows flexibility in electives to pursue specialized concentrations. ECSE students are trained in engineering fundamentals and application-specific domains with emphasis on hands-on education, design experience, and teamwork. ECSE faculty conducts cutting edge research across multiple disciplines and physical scales, including semiconductor design and processing, smart sensors and devices, 5G communication, and cybertphysical systems such as smart grid and collaborative robots. ECSE research is powered by federal funding agencies including NSF, NIH, ONR, ARO, AFOSR, DOE, state funding agencies including NYSTAR and NYSERDA, private foundations, and industry partners. develop and demonstrate substantial breadth and depth of knowledge beyond the bachelor's degree with a focus on one area of ECSE. demonstrate an expertise in the student's thesis area that covers both the background and current research in that area.create substantial original knowledge in an advanced area of ECSE. clearly and thoroughly document both the state of the art and the student's own research in the form of a dissertation<br><br>48 credits beyond the master's or 72 credits beyond the bachelor's degree. Students must take and pass the Doctoral Qualifying Exam (DQE) to be officially enrolled as doctoral students. The purpose of the exam is to determine the likelihood that the student will complete the doctoral requirements successfully and produce high-quality independent research.
