Applied Computing and Engineering to include an AoC in Software Engineering Program Description |
The proposed Ph.D. in Applied Computing and Engineering program with a concentration in Software Engineering. The mission of the PHACE program is to provide a unique opportunity for graduate education to individuals who are motivated to advance to become higher-level experts in widely related areas of Applied Computing and Engineering. The program is targeted to those who have a BS degree in mathematics, sciences, engineering, and technology, or related areas as well as those who already have an MS degree in these or related areas. The potential graduates of this program will <br>have advanced growth opportunities in government agencies, higher education, and computational engineering in various industries, such as data science, software engineering, electrical and computing engineering, network-related areas, and a variety of technical specializations. Their research work is intended to promote innovation and technology development in the emerging field of robotics, automation, drones, and <br>autonomous systems, cybersecurity, as well as related computing fields that will drive the UMES research enterprise; and contribute to the economic development in the State of <br>Maryland, especially in the Eastern Shore region where learning opportunities in applied computing and engineering disciplines is severely lacking. |
