Introduction

The world of electrical and computer engineering is an ever-changing one. The advances over a new graduate's working career of approximately 40 years will be phenomenal with applied undergraduate engineering courses slowly become obsolete. The most useful knowledge obtained from the undergraduate courses over the career are from the mathematics, engineering science, and humanities courses taken plus the acquired ability to attack new problems in a forthright manner. Graduate school is the next step in a lifetime of learning for both new graduates and for those who have been out a few years and recognize the need for more education.

Objectives

The goal of the program is to give an electrical engineering graduate the necessary education to be an effective design or systems engineer. The student shall devise a curriculum with the advice of his advisor to pursue knowledge in advance control theory, system modeling, electronics, communication, systems engineering, and embedded software. The student must complete at least 9 credits of electrical engineering courses and satisfy the project/thesis requirement in electrical engineering.

Degree Offered

The program offers a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) degree.

Admissions Requirements

1. Applicants must have earned a Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Computer Engineering from an ABET accredited program or its equivalent with a QPA of 2.5. or better.
2. Applicants with non-engineering degrees may be admitted and required to take additional course work as determined by the program director.
3. Applicants must submit the following:
   • Completed Application
   • Transcripts for all prior college work
   • Three recommendation letters
   • TOEFL scores if English is not a first language
