Master Both Engineering and Computational Methods
The Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering is offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Your course of study includes completion of computer programming, computer-based modeling, and electrical/computer engineering courses. You also conduct a research project with an electrical/computer engineering faculty member. This unique training prepares you for future engineering practice that requires engineers to master both electrical/computer engineering and computational methods.
Curriculum and Courses
Students select either the research (thesis) or course intensive (non-thesis) option. Requirements include courses in electrical/computer engineering, elective courses, and a research-based thesis (research option) or a research project (course intensive option). For the thesis and the research project, students work with a faculty adviser on a research problem.
Students design a program of study in consultation with their faculty advisor. Examples of courses are listed below:
- ECE 511 Sensors and Data Fusion with Robotics Applications
- ECE 514 Design and Modeling of Robotic Systems
- ECE 597 Electric Vehicle Technology
- ECE 601 State Variables for Engineers
- ECE 625 Advanced Digital Signal Processing
- ECE 661 Advanced Optical Network Architectures
Thesis and Non-Thesis Options
Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering
Students pursuing the M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering will conduct a research project with an electrical/computer engineering professor, and the research problem will be of shared interest. Requirements include courses in electrical/computer engineering, elective courses, and a research-based thesis.
Students admitted to this program are eligible to apply for a limited number of graduate assistantships. These opportunities are competitive, and all decisions are made post-admission.
Curriculum:
The Master of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering program consists of a minimum of 32 credit hours. The program is divided into the following:
- Coursework Requirement (minimum 18 credit hours)
- A range of 500- and 600-level courses
- Culminating Experience Requirement (14 credit hours):
- Graduate Seminars
- Research for Master’s Thesis
Master of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering
Students pursuing the M.Eng. in Electrical and Computer Engineering earn their degree by fulfilling the coursework requirements. The program also incorporates a culminating experience, which includes an internship, an industrial practicum, or a non-thesis project. Consisting of 30 credit hours, the program can be completed within a year on a full-time basis, or pursued, part-time over a longer period of time.
Students admitted to this program are not eligible for graduate assistantships from the division. Some may be eligible for awards provided by The Graduate School.
Curriculum:
The Master of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering program consists of a minimum of 30 credit hours. The program is divided into the following:
- Coursework Requirement (24-27 credit hours)
- A range of 500- and 600-level courses
- Culminating Experience Requirement (3-6 credit hours) choose between:
- internship
- non-thesis research
