Master of Science in Engineering (Electrical Engineering)

The program has two options - a thesis option and a course work option. A common requirement for each option is 24 hours of core courses. The thesis option is open to selected students interested in research or project work. Students interested in this option must petition the department chair, and each student’s thesis committee must be approved by the department chair and the Graduate College Dean. The Thesis Committee Chair must be chosen from the ECE Department faculty. In case of an interdisciplinary topic, a faculty member from any WMU department may be invited as a Thesis Committee Co-Chair. In addition to taking at least 24 hours of approved courses, students will elect six hours of ECE 7000: Master’s Thesis and successfully defend the thesis.
