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, sensing, robotics, mobile computing, automation and the like. Admission to the program requires an undergraduate degree in engineering, and includes the following fundamental coursework:
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.
The Department also offers, as an integral part of the Computer Engineering Masters Degree, the opportunity to specialize in several concentration areas.
In addition, the department also offers the opportunity to acquire dual graduate degrees along with the M.S. degree in Computer Engineering. Candidates for these dual Masters degree programs are typically required to complete a total of 48 credit hours to satisfy the requirements of two Masters degrees. This implies 15 credit hours in addition to the 33 hours required for the M.S. degree in Computer Engineering.
