The Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department (EECS) offers the degrees Master of Science Computer Science. These degree programs demand academic rigor and depth yet also address real-world problems. The EECS department has nine areas of research activity that stem from the core fields of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science: (1) Antennas and Wireless Communications, (2) Applied Algorithms and Data Structures, (3) Education (4) Energy Systems and Power Electronics, (5) High Performance Computing, (6) Human-Centered Robotics, (7) Information and Systems Sciences, (8) Machine Learning, and (9) Networking. Additionally, students may study areas such as Embedded Systems and/or Robotics, which include elements from both Computer Science and Electrical Engineering disciplines. In many cases, individual research projects encompass more than one research area. The M.S. degree in Computer Science (Thesis or Non-Thesis option) requires 36 credit hours. Requirements for the thesis M.S. are 24 hours of coursework plus 12 hours of thesis credit leading to an acceptable Master's thesis; thesis students are encouraged to find a thesis advisor and form a Thesis Committee by the end of the first year. The non-thesis option consists of two tracks: a Project Track and a Coursework Track.
