The College of Engineering and Computer Science offers six Ph.D. programs and eleven M.S. programs. The programs offer graduate students opportunities for high-quality research. The research office provides resources for the professional and social life of our graduate students.
We celebrate graduate student research in the College of Engineering and Computer Science on our annual Research Day. Each Research Day, industry representatives, faculty, and students from a wide range of disciplines learn about novel approaches to solving challenging research problems. Through poster presentations and research pitches, Engineering & Computer Science graduate students communicate the intellectual merit and broader impacts of their research in six signature areas:
- Health and Wellbeing
- Unmanned Systems
- Energy Sources Conversion, and Conservation
- Sustainable and Built Systems
- Intelligent Systems
- Security
