Master of Science in Electrical Engineering

The Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) is designed to provide students and practicing engineers alike with a background in analysis, design, development, or research on electrical or computer engineering in a variety of technical areas. It enables students to expand and deepen their knowledge beyond the baccalaureate degree and gives them the ability to adapt to ever-changing technological developments. Students with adequate background in electrical or digital and computer systems can complete the MSEE degree by successfully completing a minimum of 30 credits of course and project work. Focus Areas A plan of study will be devised for each student based on the academic background, professional goals, and interests of the student by the program coordinator. One of the following four focus areas must be followed: communication/signal processing, control systems, digital and computer systems, or power systems Communications/DSP Area Restricted Electives ELEC 6600 - Electromagnetic Waves ELEC 6610 - Networking I ELEC 6634 - Digital Signal Processing I ELEC 6635 - Digital Signal Processing II ELEC 6646 - Digital Communications I ELEC 6647 - Digital Communications II ELEC 6648 - Microwave Engineering ELEC 6649 - Wireless Communications ELEC 6650 - Random Signal Analysis ELEC 6653 - Digital Image Processing ELEC 6680 - Fiber Optic Communications Power Systems Area Restricted Electives ELEC 6600 - Electromagnetic Waves ELEC 6637 - Power Systems Engineering ELEC 6640 - Power Electronics ELEC 6642 - Power Electronics Laboratory ELEC 6641 - Electric Drives ELEC 6643 - Electric Drives Labaoratory ELEC 6634 - Digital Signal Processing I ELEC 6650 - Random Signal Analysis Digital and Computer Systems Area Restricted Electives ELEC 6610 - Networking I ELEC 6611 - Networking II ELEC 6634 - Digital Signal Processing I ELEC 6653 - Digital Image Processing ELEC 6656 - Hardware Description Language ELEC 6657 - VLSI Design ELEC 6659 - System on Chip ELEC 6682 - Computer Architecture Control System Area Restricted Electives ELEC 6604 - Discrete and Continuous Systems II ELEC 6605 - Computer Controlled Systems ELEC 6606 - Robot Control ELEC 6607 - Adaptive Control ELEC 6634 - Digital Signal Processing I ELEC 6640 - Power Electronics ELEC 6650 - Random Signal Analysis ELEC 6685 - Optimization of Engineering Systems Electives The remaining 12 credits beyond the declared focus area may be taken from EE or other closely related disciplines with the approval of the MSEE program coordinator. If EE 690 Research Project or EE 697 Thesis I and EE 698 Thesis II are completed for the project or thesis requirement as listed above, they will also count toward the remaining 12 credits needed to complete the MSEE program.
