The purpose of the program is to develop student abilities and enable proficiency in an area such as analog/digital hardware design, electromagnetics and optics, communication theory, hardware and networks, or signal processing.

Basic interest areas of the program can be listed as the following:

* Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)
* Very Large- Scale Integrated Circuits (VLSI)
* Optoelectronics
* RF/Microwave Systems
* Medical Ultrasonics and NDE
* Image Processing, Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition
* Speech Processing & Recognition
* Wireless Communications, Signal Processing for Communications
* Wireless Multimedia Networks, Ad Hoc Networking, Sensor Networks
* Channel Coding & Receiver Design
* UWB Transceiver Hardware Design, Antennas and EMT

The graduate diploma programs, Microelectronics and Telecommunications areas under EECS, are united under the name of Electronics Engineering as of 2006 - 2007 Academic year.

Ph.D. Qualifying Written Exam
Students must pass Ph.D Qualifying written exams from three packages: EE Fundamentals, Area Fundamentals and Advanced Topic Areas. Each package is equivalent to one FENS subject area.

Students are strongly advised to receive the consent of their thesis advisors and also contact PhD Committee Representative of EE program before taking the exams.

While EE Fundamentals package is mandatory to each student from EE program, the Area Fundamentals or Advanced Topics area (but not both) may be replaced by a PhD Qual subject offered by other FENS programs, which is subject to the consent of his/her adviser.

Those students in other FENS PhD programs (non EE students) can take any one of the three packages: EE Fundamentals, Area Fundamentals and Advanced Topic Areas as their subject area. However, non-EE students are strongly advised to receive the consent of their thesis advisors and also contact PhD Committee Representative of their own program before taking the exams.

EE Fundamentals

The EE Fundamentals part of the exam will consist of an equal number of questions from each of the following four areas. Students must select and submit only five questions consisting of, one question from each of the four areas and one question from any of the four areas. A sample selection is: Electronic Circuits (1), Signals (2), Basic Math (1), Electromagnetics (1).

Area Fundamentals

Students should choose two of the following Area Fundamental Subjects while signing up on the EE-PhD Qual Exam Inquiry/ Information Sheet and will receive four questions from each of their chosen subjects to work during the Qual Exam. Students may work on all problems in their chosen subjects; however they must select and submit four questions to be graded from their chosen subjects, only. Any questions submitted from subject areas, other than the chosen two areas, will not be considered for grading.

Advanced Topics

Students should choose two of the following Advanced Topics while signing up on the EE-PhD Qual Exam Inquiry/ Information Sheet and will receive four questions from each of their chosen subjects to work during the Qual Exam. Students may work on all problems in their chosen subjects; however they must select and submit only four questions to be graded from their chosen subjects, only. Any questions submitted from subject areas, other than the chosen two areas, will not be considered for grading.

* VLSI
* Fabrication and MEMS
* Optics/Photonics
* Acoustics
* Advanced Semiconductor Physics and Devices
* RF Microelectronics - Circuit Design
* Antennas/Microwaves
* Computer Vision (or Digital Image Processing)
* Audio and Speech Processing
* Networking
* Wireless Communication
* Information Theory

Timeline and grading

For EE students

* Minimum required grades to pass all exams are 70.
* If a student is failed in one or more package(s), he/she has to take only the package(s) that he/she failed or replace his/her failed package(s), except EE Fundamentals, from other FENS Qual Subjects.
* After the written exam, there will be an oral exam. The oral exam can be taken after a student passes from all written tests.

For non EE students

* Students can take any of the three packages above and should receive a passing grade of at least 70 from the package(s) of their choice.
