Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Graduate Electrical Engineering Courses

Graduate Computer Science Courses

Programs leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees are offered. Major areas of study include avionics, computers, applied and theoretical computer science, communications, controls, information theory, solid-state electronics, energy conversion, power electronics, power systems, electromagnetics, signal processing, manufacturing, VLSI design, computer vision, electronic circuits, and opto-electronics.

To be considered for entrance into the master's program, you must have a B.S. in electrical engineering or an equivalent degree in physical science, mathe-matics, computer science, or engineering. Deficiencies must be made up by self-study or by auditing (or taking without graduate credit) appropriate undergraduate courses.

Graduate Record Examination scores are required of all applicants. However, if you have a B.S. in electrical engineering from an accredited (ABET) electrical (or electrical and computer) engineering program, you can request exemption from this requirement.

To be admitted to the Ph.D. program, you must have an M.S. in electrical engineering or equivalent in the physical sciences, mathematics, computer science, or engineering. If you do not have an M.S. in electrical engineering, you must enroll in courses as specified by the graduate committee.

The M.S. requires 45 quarter hours including 9 hours of thesis or, by permission, 48 quarter hours including 3 hours of project, and a grade of B or better in at least three of the following core courses: 506, 528, 543, 555, 561, 562, 571, 570, 590 C++ with Manufacturing Applications, and 616. A description of the requirements for the M.S. with a computer science concentration is available in the EECS office. The Ph.D. requires 15 quarter hours of formal coursework at the 600-level or above beyond the M.S. and a minimum of 72 hours of dissertation. You are required to pass a comprehensive examination near the completion of your coursework.

You are encouraged to enter the program in the fall quarter. However, students are accepted in other quarters.

Financial assistance is available in EECS through Stocker Research Associateships; teaching, graduate, and research associateships; and scholarships. Teaching, graduate, and research associates are required to work in the school roughly 20 hours a week. All financial assistance is awarded on a competitive basis. Stocker Research Associateships are awarded to students who show a knack and interest for research; as a consequence, students who receive these awards are required to perform research duties over the duration of the award. Teaching and graduate associateships are awarded to students judged to be the most qualified for positions supporting the teaching activities within the school. Research associates support various sponsored research projects within the department; as a consequence, selections for these positions are made by individual faculty responsible for the research projects.
