Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Through a seamless, five-year course of study, the Master of Engineering in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (6-P) program leads directly to the simultaneous awarding of the Master of Engineering and one of the three bachelor’s degrees offered by the department. The 6-P program is intended to provide the skills and depth of knowledge in a selected field of concentration needed for advanced graduate study and for professional work, as well as the breadth and perspective essential for engineering leadership in an increasingly complex technological world. The student selects 42 units from a list of subjects approved by the Graduate Office; these subjects, considered along with the two advanced undergraduate subjects from the bachelor’s program, must include at least 36 units in an area of concentration. A further 24 units of electives are chosen from a restricted departmental list of mathematics, science, and engineering subjects
