The master's degree program in electrical and computer engineering offers in-depth coursework within the concentration-choice-related areas. The curriculum is integrated and intensive and is built on state-of-the-art research, taught by faculty who are experts in their areas. This concentration focuses on the development of methodologies and algorithms for designing communications, control, and signal processing applications. Common career outcomes in this concentration include positions in wireless and mobile communications, robotics, image processing, medical imaging, and navigationlocalization industries.Northeastern’s Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering offers the opportunity to pursue cutting-edge learning and research in the following areas: computer architecture; parallel computing; fault tolerance; performance analysis and modeling; security; embedded systems; VLSI; algorithms; data mining; testing; machine learning; machine vision and software engineering; signal and image processing; biomedical signal processing and brain-computer interface; pattern recognition; adaptive signal processing; wireless and underwater communications; information theory and coding; robust and distributed control; optics, photonics, acoustics, and magnetics sensors; radio frequency chip design; digital and mixed-signal integrated circuits; low-power very-large-scale integration; modeling and analysis of large scale power grids during normal operation and under faults; dc-dc converters, inverters, rectifiers, and ac-ac converters; as well as modulation techniques used in power electronics.

If you’re new to Australia and English is not your first language, your child's English language skills will be assessed. If your child is in the early stages of learning English, your child may be able to attend an Intensive English Unit (IEU) program. Your child can attend this program for a year. An extra semester of study may also be arranged in discussion with your child's school.Two letters of recommendation are required.At the time of application submission, we require unofficial copies of your transcripts from all institutions in which you earned a Bachelor’s degree equivalent or higher.Include a Statement of Purpose.
