The 30-credit Master of Engineering in Electrical Engineering curriculum includes core classes that incorporate advanced technical knowledge, probability theory, research, and applications. Course topics include signal processing, communication systems, power systems, electronics, electronic and integrated circuits, electromagnetics, and microelectronics.
As part of the program, you will write a nonthesis scholarly report or engineering paper that you and your faculty adviser have mutually agreed upon, which is suitable for publication at a national or international conference, such as the IEEE's (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), or in a professional journal, in order to obtain this degree.
Complete Your Engineering Degree in Two Years
You can pursue the program on a part-time basis and complete the program within two years, based on completion of two courses a semester. You must maintain a 3.00 grade-point average in both prescribed and supporting courses approved by the program to graduate.
