Master of Science in Electrical Engineering
All Tracks
Course Requirements
In addition to the general MS requirements, students obtaining a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering must satisfy the following course requirements:
- ECE 521 Random Signal Analysis I
- ECE 561 Computer Systems
- Either ECE 540 Electromagnetics or ECE 557 Fundamentals of Acoustics
- A graduate math course: Either ECE 581 Mathematics of Systems Analysis or a graduate math course approved by the student’s advisor.
- A depth requirement: Two graduate courses, beyond the requirements above, in one of the technical areas listed below.
- Applied Acoustics (Acoustic Transduction, Marine Acoustics, Marine Mammal Acoustics, SONAR and its Applications, Speech Processing, Underwater Propagation)
- Applied Electromagnetics (Antennas, Wireless Communications, Remote Sensing, Photonics, Radar)
- Electronics and Solid State Devices (Marine Electronics, Solid-State Devices)
- Signals and Systems (Advanced Automation, Communications Theory, Digital Signal Processing, Systems and Control, Underwater Systems)
- A breadth requirement: One graduate course from a specialization area different from that selected to satisfy the depth requirement.
Students must submit a coherent program of study, approved by the student’s advisor, documenting how the student plans to meet the course requirements by the time they have completed 9 credits or their first semester as a degree candidate.
Additional details can be found in the Handbook for Electrical and Computer Engineering Graduate Students.
