计算机科学哲学博士

在完成计算机科学领域的博士学位后，学生将能够：在研究生水平上获得扎实的计算机科学基础。学生将展示研究生对各种子学科的材料的理解，能够通过结合来自不同来源的知识来综合解决问题的方法，并展示出对将要进行论文研究的子领域的深入了解。进行独立的研究计划。学生将识别并提出研究问题，将该问题放在该领域已建立的文献中，并进行独立研究以得出可靠的科学结果。具备口头和书面交流方面的专业技能。学生将撰写井井有条，连贯的技术散文，提供与坚实的会议演讲相当的专业演讲，展示以书面和演讲形式描述科学问题和技术的能力，并能够在公共场合
Upon completing the PhD degree in the field of Computer Science, students will be able to: Acquire a solid foundation in Computer Science at graduate level. Students will demonstrate a graduate-level understanding of material across a variety of sub-disciplines, be able to synthesize problem solutions by combining knowledge from different sources, and demonstrate a deep knowledge of sub-area in which they will pursue their dissertation. Conduct an independent research program. Students will identify and pose a research problem, place that problem in context within the field's established literature, and conduct an independent investigation that leads to credible scientific results. Demonstrate professional skills in both oral and written communication. Students will write well-organized, coherent technical prose, deliver a professional presentation on par with a solid conference presentation, demonstrate the ability to describe scientific issues and techniques in writing and in presentation, and be able to answer unanticipated technical questions in a public setting. The Ph.D. degree is intended for students planning to pursue a career in computer science research and education. The doctoral program normally requires four to six years of study. Ph.D. students must spend at least four semesters in full-time study at Rice, where full-time study is defined as enrollment in nine or more hours of coursework.
