Master of Science in Electrical Engineering

The M.S.E.E. program offers students practice-oriented graduate-level education in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Concentrations include Computer Architectures and Microelectronics, Digital Signal Processing and Digital Data Communication, and Intelligent Systems and Control. Current active research projects in the department include embedded systems and system-on-chip design, intelligent interactive tutoring systems, intrusion detection, multisensor fusion, speaker identification, speech processing, and visualization and fault detection in multicasting networks. Other active areas of research include digital signal processing, heat dissipation problems in microchips, human-computer interaction, intelligent multimedia systems, robust and optimal control, and wireless data networks. The Electrical Engineering Master of Science is an interdisciplinary, practice-oriented program in the College of Engineering. Benefit from hands-on research opportunities, and investigate the mechanisms that support the technological fabric of our lives, including computers and the internet. As a master’s student, you’ll enjoy a flexible range of courses with many opportunities for electives to fit your particular academic and professional interests. Work closely with an advisor to chart a personalized course through the program. The small size and welcoming environment of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and its faculty make for a uniquely engaged learning experience. Professors operate according to an open-door policy, so you can visit them regularly outside of class to brainstorm independent research projects, discuss questions or talk through issues of professional development. The diverse personal and professional experiences of the student body add value to class projects, discussions and group work.

Bachelor's Degree in Discipline/Related Discipline: A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering is the preferred prerequisite degree. However, students who have earned a bachelor's degree in a related field are encouraged to apply, with the understanding that remedial preparatory courses may be a pre-condition of admission to the M.S.E.E. program.University regulations stipulate that the applicant must have earned a 3.0 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale in her/his undergraduate studies, but admission exceptions are made for a variety of circumstances. (See Graduate School Policy 02.23.11.03.) The ECE Graduate Program Director helps the applicant navigate the admission possibilities, including the "Non-Matriculated Student Policy" option.Statement of Goals: Describe your relevant technical experiences and career goals in one to two pages.Applicants who earned their baccalaureate degree from an institution where the language of instruction was other than English, with the exception of those who subsequently earned a master’s degree at a U.S. The minimum admissions standard for all graduate students is ordinarily an undergraduate grade point average of "B" or 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or the functional equivalent for students who have attended universities outside of the United States.Resume: Current resume required.
