The School of Engineering and Design at the University of Bridgeport (UB) serves as an educational resource in the sciences, engineering, technology, and design fields. We provide outstanding educational opportunities to students, the companies that hire them, and various other institutions in the surrounding region, the United States, and all parts of the world.

UB has become a 21st century, high-tech hub and learning center for people who want to master the latest technologies. It also serves as a research & development think tank for new ventures in the emerging world of technology-oriented markets and computer-aided solutions.

The world may be shrinking, but opportunities are growing in engineering. The University of Bridgeport’s School of Engineering and Design is uniquely qualified to launch you into the forefront of the new technology-driven workplace. We are both an education provider and a global knowledge resource for students and companies all over the world, focusing on design, engineering, and technical project management and all the while promoting creativity and emphasizing a team approach to problem solving.

We offer master’s degree programs in:

• Electrical Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Technology Management

Programs in these areas are highly interdisciplinary, allowing students to select courses across all three curriculums in addition to graduate-level courses in Computer Engineering and Computer Science.

We have engineered our master’s programs around you. Courses are conveniently scheduled in day and evening formats. Our goal is to provide you with the tools and skills to design your future and engineer your success.

Program Focus
The Master of Science in Electrical Engineering is designed to increase students’ knowledge and competence in basic areas of modern electrical engineering while providing in-depth studies in the areas of Communications, Control Systems, Signal Processing, Computer Engineering, Microwave Theory, Electromagnetics, and Digital Signal Processing. It requires 30 semester hours (approximately 10 courses). A master’s thesis is optional and counts for 6 semester hours (2 courses).

The curriculum prepares students for entry into the electrical engineering field at an advanced level. There is a core of 12 credits (4 courses), including Microwaves, Communications, Controls, and Electronics, and 12 to 18 elective credits (4 to 6 courses) from among the following courses:

• Fiber Optics
• AC/DC Motor Drives
• Applied Digital Signal Processing
• Semiconductors and Materials
• Introduction to VLSI Design
• Microwave Laboratory
• Analog & Digital IC Design
• Digital Signal Processing Laboratory
• Digital Communication Systems
• Information Theory and Coding
• Modern Communications
• Advanced Controls Theory
• Advanced Topics in Electronics
• Advanced Problems in Electrical Engineering
• Introduction to FPGA Synthesis
• High-Band-Width Wireless Communications
• Robotics and Automation
• Advanced Robotics and Automation

The Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering programs are highly integrated. Electrical Engineering students are able to include several Computer Engineering courses in their program.
