Advance your knowledge of industrial infrastructure or applications on hand-held devices with our online Master of Science in Electrical Engineering. Electrical engineers assume a principal role in implementing industrial infrastructure, from vast complexes to intricate applications on hand-held devices. This online Master of Science program in Electrical Engineering prepares students to embrace an advanced, highly sought-after professional career. It also gives them the critical knowledge to pursue a Ph.D. in electrical engineering. Students explore key subdisciplines in control, signal processing, and computing to achieve a thorough command of the field.

Contemporary electrical engineering is a broad discipline that encompasses a wide range of activities. A common theme is the use of electricity and electromagnetism for the generation, transmission, processing, storage, conversion, and control of information and energy. An equally important aspect is the human interface and the role of individuals as the sources and recipients of information. The rates at which information is transmitted today range from megabits per second to gigabits per second and, in some cases, as high as terabits per second. The range of frequencies over which these processes are studied extends from direct current (i.e., zero frequency), to microwave and optical frequencies. The need for increasingly faster and more sophisticated methods of handling information poses a major challenge to the electrical engineer. New materials, devices, circuits, systems, and networks are needed to build the advanced communications and information-handling systems of the future. Previous innovations in electrical engineering have had a dramatic impact on the way in which we work and live: the transistor, integrated circuits, computers, radio and television, satellite transmission systems, lasers, fiber optic transmission systems, and medical electronics. Optional concentrations within the MS program allow students to focus on coursework in the following areas: Telecommunications Engineering, Wireless and Mobile Communications, Lightwave (Photonics) Engineering, Integrated Circuits and Systems, Microelectronic Devices, and Multimedia Networking. NEW! A concentration option in Systems Biology is now available.... [-]

High-technology industries are an important sector of the economy, particularly in the Northeast. The Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) program provides an engineering science-intensive approach to increase students’ understanding and problem-solving abilities. Offering concentrations in electrical and computer engineering, the MSEE is directed toward both full-time and part-time students with a special emphasis on providing training, experience in performing independent research on topics with theoretical as well as applied interest, and managing projects.

M.S. Electrical Engineering

The MS degree requires at least 30 credit hours of graduate courses. In addition, each MS candidate must: (a) write a master's thesis and include from 6 to 12 credit hours of research in the 30-hour program or (b) take an MS exam.

At least 24 credit hours of the overall 30 must be at the 400 level or higher; and at least 12 of these credit hours must be in Electrical and Computer Engineering, exclusive of research or reading courses.

At least 18 credit hours must be earned in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the 200 level or higher.

To be successful in the graduate program, the student must have a strong background in mathematics. If you think that you need more mathematics work, please consult with an ECE faculty member before proceeding with the formal program of study.... [-]

The MSE EE degree is a research- and thesis-based program focused on the application of electrical engineering to sustainable systems and advanced engineering design.

Graduates with this degree possess the advanced expertise and are well-qualified to work as leaders in sustainable design, research labs, and entrepreneurial organizations. This degree also provides research experienced and a strong foundation for further graduate study in an electrical engineering Ph.D. program. Students who are not planning on further graduate study may also be interested in the non-thesis MEng EE program.

We accept students from a broad range of educational backgrounds, but all students are expected to possess the mastery of key foundational electrical engineering areas. If a student's bachelor degree is not in Electrical Engineering, there are additional course requirements that must be completed before a student is admitted.... [-]

Designing the System is No Longer Enough — Are You Prepared?

"Anyone designing computer systems must have a firm grasp on all aspects of cybersecurity."

— Bradley Cain, Senior Architect, F5 Networks

Engineering leaders know a system's design is only as strong as its security. Now there's an online program specifically architected to arm you with the right skills. The online Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering helps you master skills taught in other ECE programs, as well as provide you with the critical insight to secure, protect and implement the systems you create. This is one of the first online programs to present advanced electrical and computer engineering concepts and application through a cybersecurity lens.... [-]

The program has a number of outcomes for its students:
