Master of Science
Degree in Computer Engineering
The Master's degree in computer engineering
is a course of study intended to prepare individuals
whose undergraduate background is in computer or electrical
engineering for advanced professional work in the
field and for further study leading to the doctorate.
Emphasis is placed on current state-of-the-art applications
including parallel computing, image processing, VLSI
design and the like. Admission to the program requires
an undergraduate degree in engineering, and includes
the following fundamental coursework:
- Programming Languages and Techniques
- Data Structures
- Digital Design
- Digital Design Lab
- Computer Organization
- Microprocessors
- Probability and Statistics
Applicants with superior academic
credentials but lacking the required background can
be admitted subject to their taking the necessary
preparatory courses. Applicants are expected to have
an average of "B" or better in their undergraduate
coursework.
