About the Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering
The Master of Science in Engineering Science from the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering provides students with advanced training in engineering principles, preparing them for careers in industry, research and development, public service, or continued doctoral study. The program is designed to build both technical depth and professional communication skills while offering flexibility through multiple areas of emphasis.
Students can tailor their degree by choosing from four specialization areas: Computer Engineering, Electromagnetics, Electrical Engineering, and Telecommunications. Each specialization allows students to deepen their expertise in their fields—from circuit design and embedded systems to wireless communications and microwave technology.
- Most specializations offer thesis and nonthesis options, giving students the opportunity to pursue research-intensive study or a professionally focused path.
- Regardless of the track, all students complete a combination of advanced coursework and a final oral examination or project defense.
Whether you're looking to advance in your current role or prepare for future academic work, our program offers the foundation and flexibility to meet your goals.
