M.S. in Computer Engineering (Online)

Online master's in computer engineering CSU's computer engineering master's degree offers a customizable curriculum that you can tailor to meet your interests and career goals, with the flexibility to study online. Knowledge for our connected world From autonomous vehicles to smart cities, we live in a hyper-connected world. A degree in computer engineering will allow you to have an impact well beyond your computer screen. As devices and systems become “smarter” and more connected through the Internet of Things (IoT), computer engineers hold the key to understanding, advancing, and protecting the security of next-generation technologies. The M.E. and M.S. programs are coursework-only degrees focused on fundamentals of innovation, from artificial intelligence to big data to robotics. Heavy emphasis is placed on computer system design and exploration, architecture of mobile and warehouse scale computers, network programming, and internet protocols. Students in CSU's online master's in computer engineering program will learn: Up-to-date industry trends and technology capabilities. To apply creativity, in-depth knowledge, and information gained to their own careers – in many cases having access to knowledge that is not broadly known yet due to innovative faculty research. Information that will provide specific depth in their area of focus such as high-performance computing, embedded systems, networking, etc. To identify, formulate, and solve advanced engineering problems using fundamental computer engineering principles, methodologies, and tools. To combine theory and mathematics to create simulationsprototypes using modern modeling software – the same as what is used in industry. To understand the ethical, economic, environmental, and societal impacts of their work. Join a community of innovation and excellence As an online student, you will be part of ECE’s close-knit department – a community that thrives on innovation and diversity in thought. Whether online or on campus, computer engineering graduate students learn from faculty who are pushing the frontiers of engineering and science. ECE professors are responsible for 35% of the university’s issued patents since 2015, and they are a leading contributor to CSU’s research environment, an enterprise that has grown by nearly 100 million in the last decade. The department’s research runs the gamut, from developing satellites designed to improve our understanding of the conditions inside hurricanes to microscale nuclear fusion to the development of virtual non-invasive medical biopsies. This variety in research means that no matter what field you work in — or wish to pursue in your future career — you will learn from faculty at the forefront of technology and innovation. In addition to being the headquarters of the Engineering Research Center for Extreme Ultraviolet Science and Technology, ECE is home to the CSU Information Science and Technology Center (ISTeC), the CSU-CHILL National Radar Facility, and the Engineering Research Center for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere. The ECE department is also part of national and international collaborations through LaserNetUS, a Department of Energy Consortium of ultra-high-power lasers, and LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Detector Scientific Collaboration. Online students take the same engineering courses from the same faculty and receive the same computer engineering degree as students in our on-campus program. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering maintains strong ties with leaders in the field by working closely with industry partners to meet the needs of employers through curricular input, classroom lectures, and on-campus events.

This Master of Engineering (M.E.) and Master of Science (M.S.) requires applicants to have the following, at a minimum:

Bachelor of Science from a regionally accredited institution in engineering, computer science, physics, or related field that includes coursework in calculus

3.0 GPA in undergraduate degree

International students must hold degrees equivalent to U.S. bachelor's degrees, and should be among the top students in their classes. Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology (B.S.E.E.T.) degrees are not accepted
