Master of Science in Electrical Engineering

Master of Science in Computer Engineering

MISSION:  The Electrical and Computer Engineering graduate degree programs are designed to provide a higher degree of mastery of electrical and computer engineering fundamentals, emphasizing practical applications, thereby expanding the students' technological horizons and preparing professionals for advanced level positions and for admission to doctoral programs.

OBJECTIVES:  The objective of these programs is to prepare graduates for successful and dynamic professional careers through a course of study that provides: (a) a strong grasp of electrical engineering and computer engineering fundamentals through a diverse and flexible curriculum, (b) skills in practical applications, contemporary industrial needs and emerging technologies, and (c) a foundation for increasing professional responsibilities or continued study at the doctoral level.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION:

Master of Science in Electrical Engineering:  Applicants must possess:  1. A baccalaureate degree in electrical engineering from a program accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology or from a recognized foreign institution; or 2. A baccalaureate degree in another area of engineering, physics, or mathematics.

Applicants who have a baccalaureate degree in another area of engineering, physics, or mathematics may be admitted into the program provided they complete undergraduate prerequisites specified by the Chairperson of the Department of Electrical Engineering.  These courses must be completed with a minimum grade point average of 3.00 with no grade lower than C.  these courses will not satisfy any requirements for the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree.  Generally, students must complete prerequisite courses before they are permitted to register for graduate courses.  Exceptions require the recommendation of the Chairperson of the Department of Electrical Engineering and the approval of the Dean of Engineering.  Further information may be obtained from the Graduate Division Catalogue. Please direct email enquiries to the Chairperson of the department, Dr. Gordon Siverman

Master of Science in Computer Engineering:  Applicants must possess: 1. A baccalaureate degree in computer (or electrical) engineering from a program accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology or from a recognized foreign institution; or 2. A baccalaureate degree in another area of engineering, physics or mathematics.

Applicants who have a baccalaureate degree in another area of engineering, mathematics, or physics may be admitted if they have a background which includes nine credits of calculus and three credits of probability.  They must also complete undergraduate courses in Computer Programming, Introduction to Digital Systems, and Microcomputers with a minimum grade point average of 3.0 with no grade lower than C.  These courses will not satisfy any requirements for the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree.  Generally, students must complete prerequisite courses before they are permitted to register for graduate courses.  Exceptions require the recommendation of the Chairperson of the Department of Electrical Engineering and the approval of the Dean of Engineering.  Further information may be obtained from the Graduate Division Catalogue.
