Master of Science in Electrical Engineering

Michigan Tech offers program concentrations in energy systems, information systems, and solid-state electronics. Energy systems emphasize power systems, with renewable energy and power electronics as other major areas of interest. Examples include protection, operation, and control of power systems; theory and use of commercial packages for fault, power flow, and transient studies; and power-system components— including transformers, rotating machines, and circuit breakers. Information systems research is concerned with the transmission, measurement, processing, analysis, and interpretation of information-bearing signals. Areas include signal processing, image processing, computer communications, and wireless and digital communications.Solid-state electronics research spans electromagnetic wave interactions with materials, micro- and Nano scale electronic materials and devices, and the quantum behavior of solids. This research thrust explores applications coupling electromagnetic behavior, photonics, electronics, VLSI design, quantum electronic physics, and sensing devices that interact with the external world in complex, integrated microsystems. Current Michigan Tech undergraduate students can earn a MS degree with just a single year of study beyond the BS through the Accelerated Master's Program. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering also offers degree programs in computer engineering.
