BS/PhD Combined Electrical Engineering

The Electrical Engineering program at UNT offers you a hands-on project-oriented education for development of state-of-the-art electrical/electronic/embedded systems by integrating theoretical concepts and practical insights. We’re the first program in the nation to feature an integrated entrepreneurship requirement at the Ph.D. level, purposely engaging you in the creation and use of intellectual property and patent development. You'll earn a minor in Entrepreneurship from the G. Brint Ryan College of Business in addition to your doctoral degree, providing you in-depth knowledge that helps you move your original ideas and results to the marketplace smoothly.

The department houses several state-of-the-art instructional and research laboratories that provide practical and advanced hands-on experiences. They include:

• Analog/Mixed-Signal Design and Simulation Laboratory
• Autonomous Systems Laboratory
• Communications and Signal Processing Laboratory
• Embedded Sensing & Processing Systems Laboratory
• Environmental and Ecological Engineering Laboratory
• Optimization, Signal Processing, and Control Algorithm Research Laboratory
• Power Electronics and Renewable Laboratory

You'll also have direct access to the Materials Research Facility, the UNT Nanofabrication Cleanroom and the Center for Advanced Scientific Computing and Modeling. Some laboratories and instruments from other departments also are available for interdisciplinary work.
