The Department of Electrical Engineering offers a graduate program leading to a Master of Science in Engineering degree. Coursework is offered in a wide range of areas including

• computer engineering
• systems and controls
• communications
• digital systems
• electronics

  
  

Research opportunities are offered in computer architecture and performance evaluation, multimedia processors, VLSI design and implementation, radar, microwave and antenna engineering, control systems and robotics, networks, and signal and image processing. Please see our departmental research page for more information. The master's program is structured to accommodate the needs of traditional full-time graduate students as well as nontraditional students.

• Thesis and non-thesis options
• Evening courses for those pursuing a degree while employed in industry.
• Flexible degree plan allows students to design their own technical specialization.
• Students can design their own specialization in computer engineering, communications, systems and controls, signal and image processing, and electronic and solid state.

Full-time students choosing the thesis option should be able to complete the program in three long semesters (1.5 years). Part-time students taking the non-thesis option and taking two courses per long semester and one course each summer can complete the program in two and one-half years. The times will vary based on student's selected program of work and thesis project.

Degree requirements for a MSE thesis option include 24 hours of coursework and 6 hours for the master's thesis. The non-thesis option requires 36 hours of coursework.
