Curriculum

The electrical engineering program is designed to provide students with a choice of specialized fields of study. Students may select one of the following groups: modern communications, networking and mobile communications, hardware, or software. Students entering the program are expected to have a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. However, students with other undergraduate backgrounds may qualify for admissions and will be considered on an individual basis.

The MSE degree can be completed with a thesis or non-thesis option. Students pursuing thesis must enroll in ENGR 691 and ENGR 692 in lieu of two technical electives.
