Program description
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers courses and programs leading to master of science and doctor of philosophy degrees. Several areas of specialization are available at the graduate level. Major areas are bioengineering, communications systems, computer engineering, control systems, electromagnetics, instrumentation, power systems, renewable energy signal processing, and solid-state electronics.
At the master’s level there are three options: thesis, report, and course work only. All require a minimum of 30 hours of credit. The Ph.D. program requires 60 hours beyond the master’s, including original research of sufficient quality and importance to merit publication in a refereed journal.
For information about the Ph.D. program, see the Engineering section of this catalog. (Click here)
