• The Electrical Engineering faculty study the following areas: optical and solid-state devices, including quantum electronics and optics, integrated electro-optics and acoustics, design of semiconductor devices and materials, analog and mixed-signal IC design, microwave and microwave devices, and scanning acoustic microscopy; systems engineering and signal processing, including communication theory, machine vision, signal processing, power electronics, neural networks, communications networks, systems engineering, and control systems.
  • Related communication networks topics are also addressed by the Networked Systems M.S. and Ph.D. degrees.
  • Two plans are offered for the M.S. degree: a thesis option and a comprehensive examination option.
  • For either option, students are required to develop a complete program of study with advice from the department.
  • The graduate advisor must approve the study plan.
  • Part-time study toward the M.S. degree is available.
  • The program of study must be completed within four calendar years from first enrollment.
