Program Overview
The Dual Masters of Science Program in Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering is one of the available Dual Graduate Degree Programs at the University of Bridgeport. The Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering is a course of study designed to increase the student’s knowledge and competence in basic areas necessary for Modern Electrical Engineering, while affording sufficient freedom to allow an in-depth study of such areas as Communications, Control Systems, Electronics and Digital Processing. The Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering provides advanced study in traditional and contemporary Mechanical Engineering areas such as solid mechanics, structural dynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, mechanical design, computational methods, CAD/CAE/CAM, Ergonomics, Design and Innovation, Intellectual Property and Manufacturing. Admission to the program requires an undergraduate degree in engineering, and includes the following fundamental course work:
- Communications
- Signal Processing
- VLSI
- Electronics
- CAD/CAM
- Manufacturing/Design
