The Master's Program in Electrical Engineering allows students to increase their competence in a number of Electrical Engineering subjects, particularly in Digital Communications and Signal Processing, Control Systems, and Communication Networks.
Admission Requirements
Requirements for admission include an undergraduate degree
in Electrical Engineering or a closely associated discipline
from an accredited institution, a GPA in the upper quartile,
and some work experience in a high-technology environment.
Additional information on admissions may be found on the Engineering
Programs Overview page and on the General
Admissions page.
Students with a B.S. degree in another engineering discipline,
mathematics, or physics may be admitted subject to fulfillment
of the following Electrical Engineering Background Requirements.
Electrical Engineering Background Requirements
- Advanced Mathematics (i.e., Complex Variables, Laplace Transforms, Fourier Analysis, Probability) (1 term)
- Electric Circuits (1 term)
- Electronic Circuits (2 terms)
- Signals and Systems (1 term)
- Digital Logic (1 term)
- Technical Design Elective (e.g., Communications Systems, Control Systems Engineering, Computer Networks) (1 term)
Students lacking any of the above courses must consult with their advisor to devise a plan for corrective action.
