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.
The fields of quantum engineering and quantum information science are on the verge of disruptive breakthroughs, with a potential for having an impossible to overestimate impact on society and national security. They reside at the core of all these breakthroughs as an enabling technology by connecting networks of quantum computers for multi-party processing or enabling communications with absolute security rooted in the laws of physics.
