Build on fundamental knowledge with a focus in one or more specializations, so you can truly make your own path to meet your needs.
The master of science and doctor of philosophy degree programs in electrical and computer engineering are designed to provide graduate students with both broad fundamental knowledge and up-to-date information on current and emerging technologies.
Doctoral students and research-oriented master’s students engage in research activities under the close supervision of their advisers, gradually learning to become independent researchers. Their projects often are supported by government and industry grants. Courses and research activities make significant use of the department’s extensive laboratory and computer facilities.
