The Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering is designed to develop electrical engineers who have a clear understanding of the importance of electrical engineering. Doctoral students are prepared to identify a research area in electrical engineering and analyze the literature, develop theory, perform experimentation, and develop their own methodologically rigorous research studies. Students complete their studies with a mastery of the fundamental critical thinking and analytic skills and competencies necessary for electrical and computer engineering. Graduates are well prepared to enter the workforce in a range of engineering companies, universities, research organizations, federal agencies, and non-profit organizations. Develop research and design experiments in the Electrical Engineering PhD, a terminal degree for future engineering educators, innovators and technicians offered at Temple University's College of Engineering. As a PhD candidate, youll dive into highly interdisciplinary research projects with a focus on the science of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. Doctoral candidates also have the opportunity to work with other Engineering departments, Mathematics and Physical Sciences, and the School of Medicine. The small size and agility of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering will allow you to form close relationships and meaningful collaborations with faculty members. Professors operate according to an open-door policy, so you can visit them regularly outside of class to discuss questions, brainstorm independent research projects or talk through issues of professional development. Youll form close relationships with your cohort, as well: Temple maintains a dynamic student body representing a wide range of ethnic, national and racial identities. Opportunities for federally funded research with local companies allow for learning the most advanced skills in electrical engineering.
