MS in Electrical Engineering

  1. The following four (4) courses are required of all Electrical Engineering MS students:
    • ECE 521 Random Signals and Systems I
    • ECE 530 Introduction to Advanced Electronics and Optoelectronics
    • ECE 551 Acoustic and Electromagnetic Waves;
    • Choose one of the following:
      • ECE 571 Digital Communications OR
      • ECE 574 Discrete-Time Signal Processing

  2. A Depth Requirement: Two (2) courses must be taken, defined by the student’s advisor, in one of the following specialization areas:
    • Acoustics and Signal Processing
    • Artificial Intelligence
    • Devices and Applied Electromagnetics
    • Machine Learning
    • Radio Frequency Photonics
    • Wireless Communications and Sensor Networks

  3. A Breadth Requirement: Students must also take one (1) graduate course, defined by the student's advisor, from a specialization area different from that selected to satisfy the Depth Requirement.

  4. A Free Elective Requirement:
    • Students in the Thesis Track must also take one (1) additional ECE graduate course.
    • Students in the Non-Thesis Track must also take two (2) or three (3) additional ECE graduate courses.
    • Note: Non-ECE graduate courses in a closely related discipline require approval of the ECE Graduate Committee.
