Master of Science in Electrical Engineering

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.
