PROPOSAL FOR A DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING (CSE)Executive SummaryThe School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) proposes a new Doctor ofPhilosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). The CSE Ph.D.degree program being proposed is a 72 credit hour professional graduate degree designedto prepare students for academic and research careers. Through departmentalcollaboration in SEAS, students can choose their field of study from the three areas ofspecialization: (1) computer science, (2) electrical and computer engineering, and (3)computational science in Engineering.We propose the Ph.D. degree program to begin on August 16, 2013. It is anticipatedthat between 10 and 20 students will be entering the program each year. The existingSEAS faculty is sufficient in advising these students and for implementing the program.The implementation of the program is consistent with the vision and mission of theUniversity of the District of Columbia to “offer exceptional, research-driven graduateand professional programs of importance to the District and the nation”. The goal of theCSE Ph.D. degree program is to prepare graduate and professional degree recipientscapable of meeting the needs for the Washington, DC metro area and the nation.In summary, UDC will benefit from a CSE Ph.D. program in three ways: the programwill support and expand UDC’s current research profile; the university will contributemore to the community and receive more recognition in return by creating greatersynergy among its departments through contributing research; the enrollment willincrease and more students will be attracted as we provide the Ph.D. opportunity.1. Demonstration of NeedThe University of the District of Columbia's vision is to be a “diverse, selective,teaching, research, and service university”. To accomplish this vision, UDC's publicgoal is to “offer exceptional, research-driven graduate and professional programs ofimportance to the District and the nation”. In support of UDC’s vision and mission, thefollowing information was gathered to demonstrate the need for a Ph.D. program incomputer science and engineering: Students demand the Ph.D. degree program A recent survey was given to ourcomputer science graduate students in the Fall of 2012. Out of 18 students whoresponded to the survey, 11 indicated they are planning on pursuing a Ph.D.within the next 1-2 years, and 7 indicated 3-5 years.Graduate students are the main work force in research activities. Thegraduate students admitted to the program will help enhance the quality of theresearch conducted by the faculty. This is essential for applying to research grantsfrom sources such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), The Department ofEducation (DOE), and the Department of Defense (DoD), to list a few.December 5, 123
PROPOSAL FOR A DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING (CSE) Offering both master's and Ph.D. shall increase the number of graduateapplications. The results of the 2012 Council of Graduate Schools InternationalGraduate Admissions Survey, Phase I: Applications indicate that applications ofprospective international students to graduate schools increased 9% between 2011and 2012 for the seventh consecutive year. In addition, survey results show thatinternational students are much more likely to apply to institutions offeringdoctoral programs than master’s focused institutions.Occupations needing a doctoral or professional degree are projected to grow.In February 2012, the U.S. Department of Labor released its employmentprojections through 2020. The occupations needing a doctoral or professionaldegree are projected to grow by 19.9 percent.Employment projections continue to show an increase in science, technology,and engineering fields; especially in Washington, D.C. Employmentprojections in STEM fields appear promising. The U.S. Department of Labor haspredicted a 29 percent increase in STEM jobs, adding about 2.1 million new jobsbetween 2010 and 2020. Washington, D.C. has more than two times theconcentration of STEM jobs than the national average.Interest in graduate studies of computer science and engineering continues togrow. According to the 2012 Graduate Enrollment and Degrees report by theCouncil of Graduate Schools, master's and doctoral enrollment for first-timestudents in many disciplines dropped by 1.7 percent between 2010 and 2011.However, first-time students enrollment increased for mathematics and computerscience (3.8 percent) and engineering (2.2 percent) disciplines.2. Mission Statement and ObjectivesCongruent with the missions of the University of the District of Columbia (UDC), themission of the CSE Ph.D. program is to “prepare students for immediate entry into thenation’s doctoral and professional workforce in computer science and engineering.” Theproposed Ph.D. will help provide advanced quality graduate studies, in the areas ofcritical importance and great demands (such as cybersecurity, cloud computing, and highperformance computing in Computer Science, Computer and Electrical Engineering, andComputational Science in Engineering), to the citizens of the District of Columbia and tothe nation.The CSE Ph.D. program should be a high-quality degree program aimed at preparinggraduates who can (a) show an ability to conduct independent and creative research thatcontributes to the advancement of knowledge; (b) demonstrate not only a sufficientbreadth of understanding in computer science and engineering but also a significantdepth of understanding in their chosen area of research specialization; (c) apply theirknowledge and creativity to solve complex problems in the society. This requires eachsuccessful Ph.D. student to produce a significant piece of original research that isDecember 5, 124
PROPOSAL FOR A DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING (CSE)presented in a written dissertation and is defended through an oral examination. The workmust be of high quality such that several peer-reviewed journal and conference paperscan be produced from it in premium computer science and engineering venues.3. Rationale and MotivationsThe Department of Computer Science and Information Technology (CSIT:http://csit.udc.edu) will manage the proposed Ph.D. program in the School of Engineeringand Applied Sciences (SEAS) at the University of the District of Columbia. The schoolcurrently offers five undergraduate major programs and two Master’s degree programs(i.e. MSCS in Computer Science and MSEE in Electrical Engineering). In the past, theenrollment of the MSCS program has almost doubled. We expect the MSCS program togrow at a much higher pace in light of this new Ph.D. program over the coming years.The major factors that motivate the need for a PhD degree program in ComputerScience and Engineering (CSE) include:1) A new Vision that includes targeted and research-based doctoral programs inthe University as demonstrated in Section 1.2) Retain our graduates in the DC metro area in our own PhD in ComputerScience and Engineering degree program.3) As the only public university in the nation’s capital, UDC ought to meet thePh.D.-level demands as demonstrated in Section 1. This proposal opens up aPh.D. degree opportunity in the most demanding areas of computer scienceand engineering for the residents who cannot afford the high cost of tuitionat the private universities.4) UDC is in an ideal position to increase minority PhD graduates. This willultimately produce a great impact on (a) UDC visibility nationally andinternationally and on (b) supporting various government agencies andfederal research laboratories located in and around the Washington DC areawith increasingly required Ph.D. scientists (see Section 1). UDC willproduce future computer science and engineering professors.5) With a strong PhD program in Computer Science and Engineering, we willbe in a better position to compete for larger external funding for seriousresearch and deeper education from NSF, DoD, NIH, DOE, etc, where manyprograms are open only to PhD granting institutions.6) We also foresee that our PhD program will be a strong vehicle to fuel futuremulti-disciplinary research synergies with other departments and centers inthe fields of humanities and natural sciences, beyond the engineering schoolat the university.7) Over fifteen (15) doctoral faculty members have joined the SEAS over thelast several years with nationally and internationally competitive researchexpertise in computer science and engineering through highly competitiveand selective national searches. Competitive research needs Ph.D. disciplesfor growth.December 5, 125
PROPOSAL FOR A DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING (CSE)4. Current Faculty Research Strengths and Projected ResearchAreasThe Ph.D. faculty members of the SEAS have produced numerous research publicationsin reputable and specialized research venues. They have experience in producing MSsand PhDs in the area of computer science and engineering. To support and sustain a fullfledged Ph.D. program in CSE, the existing faculty members have their proved records inthe following targeted research areas: Cloud Computing (national initiatives)Big Data (national initiatives)Cyber-Security and Information Assurance (national initiatives)RoboticsVisual AnalyticsMachine Learning, AI, Data MiningAdvanced NetworkingSpatio-Temporal DatabasesComputer Architecture and Embedded System designDetection and Estimation in digital communication systemsVLSI Architecture & Electronic Materials and DevicesHigh-performance Computing and Scientific Applications in ComputingComputational Science in Environmental, Nano, Energy, and Water ResourceEngineering and Sciences (national initiatives)5. Institutional Support5.1.Faculty LinesThe faculty for the proposed CSE Ph.D. degree program will be drawn from the existingfaculty in SEAS. The faculty members of SEAS have the highest qualifications neededfor their profession and have many years of teaching and research experiences with,collectively, hundreds of research publications in reputable forums and venues (AppendixB details faculty qualifications). No additional faculty hires are ppliesandThe faculty members of the SEAS have research laboratories, which have been utilizedin several federal and industry funded competitive research projects with graduatestudents. The initial establishment of Ph.D.-level research laboratories and teams will beorganized within the existing research laboratories in the SEAS.December 5, 126
PROPOSAL FOR A DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING (CSE)5.2.Student SupportStudent support is important in terms of increasing the number of students in the newCSE Ph.D. degree program. At the university level, the currently existing RA/GA/TAsystem will be utilized to support new Ph.D. degree students. Currently, several SEASfaculty members have active research grants from federal agencies including NSF andDoD to initiate larger and deeper research activities with Ph.D. students, which willenable larger Ph.D.-level funding soon after the launch of the proposed Ph.D. program.New and enhanced funding opportunities enabled by the Ph.D. program include thefollowing to list a few:-NSF, Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST),typically 5-year, 5M.NSF, HBCU Research Infrastructure for Science and Engineering (HBCU-RISE), 2M.Better CAREER and Young Investigator funding opportunities for junior facultymembers.DARPA and most deep research funding programs requiring Ph.D. program.Federal funding programs supporting CAEIA/R NSA National Center of AcademicExcellence in Information Assurance / Research.6. Marketing and Growth ProjectionAs we mentioned above, UDC students show interest in pursuing a Ph.D. degree. Arecent survey (performed in Fall 2012) shows that all 18 MSCS graduates and students(M.S. students) positively and immediately responded to the survey indicating that theyare planning to pursue a Ph.D. in Computer Science. The CSE Ph.D. program will startwith about 5-10 students in Fall 2013. We expect to see reaching 5-10 new students peryear over the first two years, and 10-20/year soon thereafter. Considering 5-year degreeperiod, over the first five years, the program will grow to 50- to 100-student Ph.D.program producing 10-15 new Ph.D.s annually.To recruit future Ph.D. students, we will chase several avenues including:1) recruitment in our existing undergraduate and graduate programs (seeSection 10),2) government agencies and national laboratories,3) our advisory boards,4) the consortium universities,5) partnership and collaboration with other universities,6) marketing flyers advertising the program locally, nationally, andinternationally, extensively utilizing the Internet and search engines, such asGoogle,December 5, 127

Avoidance of Duplication and Faculty WorkloadsThe proposed PhD program is not a duplicate of any existing program at the Universityof the District of Columbia. To manage the proposed PhD program, faculty workloadshould be adjusted. To this effort, the Department of Computer Science and InformationTechnology’s 6 undergraduate electives in the Information Technology (BSIT) programwill be removed, and the Information Technology (BSIT) program will be integrated intothe Computer Science (BSCS) program as a concentration area, offering US NationalSecurity Agency’s CNSS 4011 & 4012 Certifications to the graduates (the departmentCSIT has already acquired this certification as a preparation as shown inhttp://informatics.udc.edu/arctic and http://csit.udc.edu).The department has worked on this preparation over the past three years incollaboration with the US National Security Agency, National Science Foundation, theUniversity of Denver, and other partners. In year 2011, the National Security Agency hasrecognized the University of the District of Columbia for its information du)andARCTIC(http://informatics.udc.edu/arctic), which includes specialties within the informationtechnology and computer science degree programs. The CSIT/ARCTIC faculty team wassupported in significant part by a grant from the National Science Foundation along withcollaboration by the University of Denver. As a part of the concentration area in theBSCS program, UDC graduates who meet the CSIT/ARCTIC's requirements will receiveinstitutional certificates as Information Systems Security (INFOSEC) ProfessionalsNSTISSI No. 4011 or Senior Systems Managers CNSSI No. 4012 as approved by theCommittee on National Security Systems National Training Standards.With the Information Assurance concentration and the minimum standards for theduties and responsibilities of Information Systems Security (INFORSEC) professionals(NSTISSI 4011) and Senior Systems Managers (CNSSI 4012), the department isplanning to receive NSA designation as a National Center of Academic Excellence inInformation Assurance Education (CAE/IAE). With this effort, graduate students(including MS and Ph.D. students) will be engaged in Information Assurance researchactivities. These accomplishments and the new Ph.D. program will position us in acategory of universities that are allowed to apply for the next level national designation:CAE/IAR National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Research,which requires a Ph.D. program in Computer Science.8.
