ECSE offers Bachelors, Masters, and Doctoral degrees in Electrical Engineering, and Computer, andSystems Engineering. ECSE curriculum builds a broad foundation in math, science, humanity and social science, and multiple disciplines in engineering, while allows flexibility in electives to pursue specialized concentrations. ECSE students are trained in engineering fundamentals and application-specific domains with emphasis on hands-on education, design experience, and teamwork. ECSE faculty conducts cutting edge research across multiple disciplines and physical scales, including semiconductor design and processing, smart sensors and devices, 5G communication, and cybertphysical systems such as smart grid and collaborative robots. ECSE research is powered by federal funding agencies including NSF, NIH, ONR, ARO, AFOSR, DOE, state funding agencies including NYSTAR and NYSERDA, private foundations, and industry partners.
The typical length of Master's degree study is 3 to 4 semesters. Combining with summer, it is possible to complete the Master's degree study in one calendar year. Internship or work related projects may be used towards a Master's project for the fulfillment of the Master's degree requirement. Substantial tuition scholarship is available to highly qualified Master's students. A student pursuing an MS, whether with or without thesis or through the MS co-terminal program, can optionally add an MS Focus Area. A focus would be satisfied with 3 ECSE concentration courses, at least two of these ECSE courses need to be at the 6xxx level, and the third could be an ECSE 4xxx or ECSE 6xxx course. The focus courses need to be chosen from the list of Focus Area Courses in the respective Focus Area, as listed below. Choosing a focus area is optional, i.e., an MS (with or without thesis) or an MS co-term does not have to declare a focus area.
