Do you have online or distance learning?
Because of the intense nature of the program which includes a great deal of lab participation, it is not possible to do this program without being here in person.
Can I do this program on a part-time basis, or on evenings or weekends?
It is not possible to participate in our program on a part-time basis. This is generally a more than full-time commitment, which includes coursework, lab work, participation in seminars and lab meetings as well as a possible 20 hrs./wk appointment as a teaching or research assistant. If you are interested in a part-time Master’s Degree,…
If I have a Master’s degree, will the program be shorter for me?
It is unlikely that having a Master’s degree before entering our program will significantly impact how long it takes to complete your degree. It is not required for one to have a Master’s degree before applying to our PhD program.
How long does the program take to complete?
Our Master’s program generally takes 1.5 to 2 years. Our Ph.D. program generally takes 5 to 7 years to complete. Courses are typically chosen with the guidance of your advisors and supervisory committee, who take into consideration your individual career goals.
What are your prerequisites?
Fundamental courses that are required of all non-EE degree holders are: EE 215 “Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering” EE 233 “Circuit Theory” EE 235 “Continuous Time Linear Systems” EE 271 “Digital Circuits and Systems” Programming skills at the level of CSE 142 “Computer Programming I” and CSE 143 “Computer Programming II” Beyond these basic requirements, students…
Do I need an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering to apply to the master’s program?
No, it is not required to have a prior degree in Electrical Engineering to apply to our graduate program. Although, we do strongly advise that applicants have prior experience with electrical engineering research. Students with a strong academic record who hold a B.S. degree in another engineering discipline, or in mathematics, physics, applied physics, chemistry, materials…
