The Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree program prepares students for leadership roles in research, development and design careers that require skillful and imaginative solutions to complex engineering problems.
The program allows students to choose from five specialized concentrations — circuits, computing systems, devices, power electronics and energy systems, and signals and systems — and it provides a comprehensive, rigorous preparation for professional practice both established and emerging areas of electrical engineering.
Led by world-class faculty — and with a flexible curriculum that serves the needs of both full-time students and working professionals — the master’s program in Electrical Engineering provides many research opportunities for students in specialties as varied as:
- Communications and signal processing
- Mixed-signal integrated circuit design
- Digital systems
- Power electronics, microelectronics and nanoelectronics
- Optics and optoelectronics
- Light-wave devices and systems
- Radio frequency and microwave systems
- VLSI design
- Power electronics and renewable energy
- Vehicular technology, control theory and robotics
Benefits Of The Program:
- World-Class Faculty: The program is led by faculty of the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science who are widely cited experts in their respective fields, many of whom also have professional industry experience.
