Master of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering


This program is designed to increase the student's knowledge and competence in modern Electrical Engineering while affording sufficient freedom to allow an in-depth study of such areas as communications, control systems, electromagnetics, electronics, digital signal processing, robotics, fiber optics and semiconductors.

Students must have a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or a related field. In both cases, the department may require make-up of background deficiencies.

Course Requirements

  1. A total of 30 semester hours is required in an approved program of study with a final QPR of no less than 3.00.

  2. The Master's thesis (EE598) is optional. If undertaken, it counts as 6 semester hours. If no thesis is taken, a student must do an independent project for 3 credits (EE597 or EE599).

  3. It is recognized that not all students will have the necessary depth of study in their preparatory program for the MSEE. Consequently, if judged necessary in a particular program of study, the department may permit a maximum of two undergraduate electives to be taken for graduate credit.

  4. There are many good Electrical Engineering courses offered by our Computer Engineering Department. Students can take these for completion of the MSEE, providing they have their advisor's permission.
