professional record indicating a high probability of success in graduate work. Preparatory courses required to provide a student with the background necessary for successful graduate study in computer engineering are listed below. Depending on the individual’s background, other courses (e.g., differential equations and linear algebra) may also be required. Proficiency in these areas may be demonstrated by either successful course completion or by passing an equivalency examination. When possible, a student will be notified of deficiencies at the time of acceptance. In addition to the preparatory work described, all degree requirements listed above for the master of science degree must be fulfilled. ECE 1552 Computer Design ECE 2112 Circuit Theory 2 ECE 2551 Software/Hardware Design ECE 3111 Electronics ECE 4112 Digital Electronics Doctor of Philosophy Degree Program Admission Requirements Admission to doctoral study is granted to a limited number of applicants who have received master’s degrees in computer engineering from accredited institutions or from international institutions that provide suitable preparation for doctoral-level studies. The doctoral program in computer engineering can be completed with a minimum of 48 credit hours beyond the master’s degree; however, typically 48 to 54 credit hours are necessary. A list of elective courses is available on request. General admission requirements and the process for applying are presented in the Graduate Information and Regulations section of this catalog. Degree Requirements The Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Engineering is conferred primarily in recognition of creative accomplishment and ability to investigate engineering problems independently, rather than for completion of a definite course of study. The work should consist of advanced studies and research leading to new knowledge and significant contribution to a chosen research area. General degree requirements are presented under the Graduate Information and Regulations section of this catalog. COURSE WORK AND THESIS SUMMARY CREDITS Doctoral course work minimum beyond the master’s degree .................24 Doctoral research and dissertation .........................................................24 TOTAL MINIMUM BEYOND THE MASTER’S DEGREE 48 Curriculum Degree Requirement A minimum of 24 credit hours of course work beyond the master’s degree and at least 24 credit hours of Dissertation Research (ECE 6999) are required. Up to nine credit hours outside of electrical and computer engineering can be counted toward the degree. The student’s adviser and the department head must approve a program of study. A wide degree of latitude is allowed in course selection and research interest within the capability of the university and the student’s academic background. This requirement is imposed at the discretion of the doctoral committee. After admission to doctoral candidacy, a yearly seminar demonstrating progress must be presented to the graduate faculty. 64 Florida Tech Research Activities and Facilities Current areas of research activities include image analysis, computer vision, neural networks, speech processing, wireless communications and pattern recognition. These activities are being carried out in relation to the following general areas of research interest. Image Processing: Much of the research is directed at basic problems and contributes to the solution of major national problems in vision, image and speech processing. These include automated object detection and perception, computer imaging, modeling and other areas of image analysis. Techniques being used include traditional techniques and other techniques that include wavelets, fractals, higher-order statistics and morphology. Application areas include autonomous inspection in manufacturing and other commercial uses. Projects include the analysis and interpolation of infrared or SAR imagery. In addition, many of the techniques in image processing are being applied to speech processing. Computer Networks: The abundance of computational power and communications requires a robust infrastructure, providing security, privacy, intrusion detection, multimedia capabilities and location dependent services. Research topics include componentbased distribution network management, intrusion detection, interactive multimedia application over IP, congestion control, IP traffic engineering and network security improvements.

Ray, M.B.A.; M. Scott, M.S. Student Coordinator Rosalyn Bursey Computer scientists are deeply involved in activities that are essential in our modern civilization. These activities include basic research, design, development and testing of software and information systems that serve society and its many needs. Computer technology is found in every aspect of today’s world. Common uses include word processors, spreadsheets, computer games and entertainment, communications and information systems, transportation, education and training, medicine, criminology, factory automation, space exploration and assistive devices for the disabled. Computers have led to significant quality of life improvements, and yet their potential is still to be fully realized. Professionals in computer science design and develop computer systems that are, insofar as possible, free from defects and protected from misuse that would harm the health or welfare of society or the environment. The mission of Florida Tech’s computer sciences department is to prepare computing professionals for success and leadership in the conception, design, implementation and operation of complex real-world systems, and to expand knowledge and understanding of computing through research, scholarship and service. Bachelor of Science Degree Program The educational objectives of the bachelor of science degree program is to prepare students so that within a few years after graduation they will be well-respected computational problem solvers and recognized as algorithmic specialists contributing to the development of new software products; they will be actively engaged in continual professional development; and will be using their technical knowledge, interpersonal and personal skills and professional attitude to advance their careers, the careers of others and the organizations for which they work. The computer science curriculum at Florida Tech is a unique and well-rounded program that provides a solid technical background for careers in the computing profession or for graduate studies. Undergraduate students study the structure of typical computer systems, the techniques and theories supporting software development and specialized areas such as computer graphics, artificial intelligence, networks and information management. After graduation, they are equipped to enter the work force as systems analysts, application programmers or software specialists, and are provided with the background necessary for graduate study. Because the subject matter of programming, algorithms and data structures forms a critically important foundation for all advanced computer science courses, the minimum grade for satisfying the prerequisite requirements is a grade of C for each of the following courses: CSE 1001, CSE 1002 and CSE 2010.
