Programs of Study

The College of Engineering, through its disciplines of science, engineering and technology, offers course work leading to the following degrees:

The Master of Science with a major in electricalengineering has been approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board with a 2007 starting date. Contact the Department of Electrical Engineering for specific program details. Call (940) 891-6872 for information.

Master’s degrees are offered by all academic departments in the college.

Doctoral programs in the college typically reflect the areas of academic specialization or focus of the various departments (see individual departmental descriptions in this catalog for specific information). All areas offer challenging programs that provide students with the opportunity to become experts in their chosen fields. A major emphasis in the college is to train graduate students in the fundamentals of engineering and scientific research and to prepare them, especially on the doctoral level, to be critical thinkers who can advance human knowledge through research.

The college is composed of the following four academic departments.

Research

Research interests in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering include theoretical computer science, databases, visualization, game programming, wired and wireless networks, computer security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, computer systems architecture, agent based systems, collaborative learning, parallel and distributed processing, and numerical analysis.

The research areas in the Department of Electrical Engineering include signal processing, wireless communication, channel modeling and measurement, radar systems, VLSI design and testing, analog and mixed-signal IC design, nano-scale semiconductor device modeling and design, wireless sensor network design, radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems, sensor and sensor interface design, coding theory, bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, pattern recognition and multisensor fusion.

Research capabilities in the Department of Engineering Technology include small target visibility, voice cancellation, VLSI design of antenna array, logic circuit design, applications of technology to education, biomedical optics, pulse oximetry, telemedicine, liquid nitrogen automobiles, mechanical behavior of materials for structures and micromechanical systems, control systems, field emissions and corrosion engineering.

Research programs in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering emphasize hands-on research with modern equipment and facilities. Areas of research include polymers, nanocomposites, electronic materials and molecular electronics.
