The program leading to the degree of Master of Engineering in EE provides an opportunity for
the students to pursue advanced studies in a particular field of major interest.
Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) program is designed for students who want to pursue their
electrical engineering education beyond the undergraduate level but are looking for an alternative
to a thesis-based research program.
The Master of Engineering program consists of a total of 33 credit hours of course work with the
option of completing a supervised project. Students are free to choose among a number of EE &
Non-EE courses to complete the program.
The program consists of a total of 33 credit hours of course work: a minimum of 9 credit hours of
letter-graded courses in the departments technical specialty areas to provide depth, a minimum of
6 credit hours of letter-grade courses in other area(s) within EE in order to provide breadth, a
minimum of 3 and a maximum of 9 credit hours of technical non-EE (letter-grade) courses, 3
credit hours of non-technical course (business-related), and 3 credit hours of project work (P/F).
Possible areas of concentration include:
Power/Energy Systems
Control Systems
Communications
Signal Processing
Electromagnetics
Electronics
Digital Systems
Admission Requirements
Applicants to the M. Eng. program in EE must hold a B.S degree in electrical engineering or
