PROGRAM LEVEL
The doctor of philosophy program (PhD) in Electrical Engineering degree provides an opportunity for students to pursue a program of research in a specialized area and to develop a dissertation that embodies the results of original research and gives evidence of high scholarship. The PhD thesis shall make an original and significant contribution to engineering knowledge.
The PhD in Electrical Engineering student may choose one of the following disciplines to carry out their research for the dissertation: Power Engineering, AI Systems, Digital Systems Engineering, Energy and Machines Engineering, and Control Systems Engineering. The PhD program consists of (75 credits) after the MSc degree. There are 7 courses that are required to be completed before starting the dissertation. Each course is (3 credits) and the thesis is (54 credits). The courses are common among all the Departments of College of Engineering. The dissertation must represent a significant contribution to the field of study. The PhD student is required to defend their thesis before a jury which consists of the supervisor, an internal examiner and an external examiner (from another university).
