Master of Science in Electrical Engineering - Nanoscale Electronics and Photonics

Our robust research program touches a wide variety of disciplines including computer engineering and architecture, signal processing, communications, medical imaging, digital audio and music, photonics, and nanoscale electronics.Our Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) graduates thrive. Theyre making their mark at large and small companies, across a diverse range of sectors. These include Bose, Google, Apple, IBM, Siemen's, GM, Microsoft, Intel, Verizon, Amazon, and the US Government. The more academically inclined take up faculty or research positions in industry or beyond.
Our mission is to empower our students to be leaders, pursue their academic and professional passions, and model partnerships with educational, civic, cultural, health, and business communities. We will teach our graduates how to create innovative connections with various sectors. We will also teach them to value ethics, and diverse perspectives. Our graduates will serve their communities by developing programs which will improve the world around them. We will foster supportive training environments such that our graduate students can learn, discover, heal, and create.
This program requires a strong background in mathematics. The majority of our master's students have an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or physics, which are all well suited to starting an electrical engineering MS program.
In a new and ever-changing landscape of electronics needs, there has been a strong focus to work with deeply scaled nanoelectronic transistors and to go beyond conventional Si-based transistors entirely. New technologies such as spintronics, 2D electronics, phase-change electronics, neuromorphic electronics, superconducting electronics and topological electronics are becoming more important in defining what the next 50 years of electronics looks like from the device level up.
