MS in Computer Science / Electrical Engineering
The Dual Masters of Science Program in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering is one of the available Dual Graduate Degree Programs at the University of Bridgeport. The Masters Degree in Computer Science is intended to prepare individuals with a strong mathematical, scientific, or technical background for entry into the computer science field at an advanced level and for further study leading to the doctorate degree. 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. Admission to the program requires an undergraduate background that includes elementary physics, a calculus sequence, linear algebra, communications, signal processing and the following fundamental course work in computer science and electrical engineering or related field.
- Programming Languages and Technique
- Data Structures
- Digital Design / Lab
- Discrete Structures
- Computer Organization
- Analog/Digital Communications
- Probability and Statistics
- Signal Processing
The departments may require students to take make–ups for background deficiencies.
