国际学生入学条件
Students applying from a master's degree program must have a grade point average (GPA) of 3.5 or higher on work beyond the B.S. degree. BSEE and BSCPE applicants must have a degree from an institution of higher learning that is recognized by the ECE department and a GPA of at least 3.5 on the last 60 credit hours of undergraduate work.
Applicants must submit to the Graduate School the same application materials required for M.S. applicants, plus a one- or two-page discussion of career goals and proposed areas of study.
Completed applications are routed to faculty in the interest area most closely aligned with the applicant's desired field of specialization. Faculty in the interest area then make recommendations to the Admissions Director or Graduate Administrative Committee regarding admission into the Ph.D. program and possible financial support.
The complete application includes
Virginia Tech Graduate School on-line application form, nonrefundable application fee $75.00.
An up-to-date, electronic copy of all official transcript(s) must be submitted with your on-line application. Please do not mail your official transcript(s) to the Graduate School until you have received an offer of admission from Virginia Tech. (Note that the ECE department does not require an official copy of your transcript(s).
Three (3) letters of recommendation.
Graduate Record Examination (GRE).
This is not required for Virginia Tech undergraduate students earning a B.S. degree in ECE at Virginia Tech with a GPA of 3.5 or higher in their last 60 hours.
TOEFL or IELTS exam for applicants earning undergraduate or graduate degrees from non-English institutions.
A Resume and a Statement of Purpose submitted with the on-line application.
For admission in Fall 2019, we expect a minimum TOEFL score of 90 (IBT) or IELTS score of 6.5 for admission. Further, TOEFL scores of 20 or greater in Listening, Writing, Speaking, and Reading subsections are required. A minimum TOEFL score of 550 on the paper-based test (PBT).Some departments may require higher minimum scores.

课程简介
在技术日益驱动的世界中,对计算机速度和安全性的需求无穷。ECE研究人员正在改善软件和硬件的许多方面,以满足这些需求。我们通过自动验证设计,利用多核的效率以及使用软件来保护硬件本身免受黑客攻击,从而提高了系统可靠性。几乎所有设计都需要进行多次优化迭代,因此重要的是要检查每个阶段的设计是否相同。由于状态空间的大小以及优化设计可能具有一组完全不同的状态变量和编码的事实,很难在顺序设计中检查等效性。我们正在努力通过找到非平凡的静态和归纳不变式来解决这个问题。半导体公司依靠有效的测试来区分好零件和有缺陷的零件,
In an increasingly technologically-driven world, there is infinite demand for computer speed and security. ECE researchers are improving many aspects of software and hardware to meet these demands. We are improving system reliability by automatically verifying designs, exploiting the efficiencies of multiple cores, and using software to protect the hardware itself from hackers. Nearly all designs require many iterations of optimization, and it is important to check that the design remains the same at each stage. Checking for equivalence in sequential designs is difficult, due to the size of the state space and the fact that the optimized design might have a drastically different set of state variables and encoding. We are working to solve this problem by finding non-trivial static and inductive invariants. Semiconductor companies rely on effective tests to distinguish good parts from defective ones, and some defective parts are easier to diagnose than others. Our work explores various strategies to quickly diagnose and root-cause the errors without using traditionally expensive techniques.
