Graduate Foundation in Electrical Engineering
The Master of Science in Electrical Engineering program in the School of ENCS offers both a thesis and non-thesis program.The thesis option requires a significant research project as well as 30 total credit hours,including 21 hours of graded coursework beyond the bachelor’s degree plus a minimum of 4 thesis credits (ECE 700). The remaining five credits can be additional ECE 700 thesis credits or 500-level ECE classes.The nonthesis option requires a minimum of 31 total credit hours, including 27 hours of graded coursework beyond the bachelor’s degree plus 4 credits of independent research (ECE 702). The final exam consists of a portfolio of representational projects from the student’s Master’s coursework, a resume/CV, a LinkedIn profile and a ~5 page report.The MSEE program has a Lab-on-a-Chip theme, which is used as a unifying platform to make connections between courses. The coursework and research are in the general areas of antenna design, RF/microwave systems, Micro/nanoelectronics, MEMS, sensors and signal processing, nanotechnology, power systems, power electronics and motor drives, and digital/embedded systems. Our laboratories, including a class-100 clean room and RF laboratories, are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment.Teaching and research assistantships are available for qualified students pursuing the thesis option.
