Electrical engineering: The future is what we do Electrical engineering is a broad discipline that is essential to our everyday lives. Our professors will teach you to think like an engineer to drive what’s next in technology and create a better world for all, from advanced medical devices to self-driving cars to smart homes. Online graduate degree programs in Electrical Engineering at Colorado State University produce leaders who engage, imagine, and invent. Offering a highly flexible curriculum that can be tailored to your needs, our coursework will give you depth and breadth of knowledge to advance your career, as well as the skills and mindset to keep pace with innovation. Topics of study include: Optical properties of nanostructures High resolution metrology techniques Engineering concepts of high-power pulsed electronics Analysis of power systems (current, voltage, and activereactive power) Grid integration of wind energy systems Linear and non-linear optical properties Physics and operation of energy devices; solar-photovoltaic, wind energy, gas, coal and nuclear plants Particle beam accelerator technology and engineering Who is a good fit for this program Those with strong analytical and creative problem-solving skills Students who want to know more than just facts – you have a curiosity for understanding why things are the way they are Those who want to use the latest science, tools, and technology to shape the future and bring ideas to life Those with a vision for how something should work and a dedication to making it better, faster, and more efficient Those who want to use their knowledge to improve people's lives in meaningful ways Become part of 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, electrical 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.

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

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology (B.S.E.E.T.) degrees are not accepted.

International students must hold degrees equivalent to U.S. bachelor's degrees, and should be among the top students in their classes.
