The Master of Engineering degree in ECE is designed for students having a B.S. degree in ECE or a related field and offers an opportunity to broaden knowledge of areas in ECE beyond what is possible in a four-year undergraduate curriculum. The M.Eng. is a professional degree and is not intended for students interested in obtaining research experience. Students interested in a research-oriented career and all students interested in obtaining a Ph.D. should instead apply to the traditional M.S. program.
