Curriculum
The purpose of this degree is to prepare students for leading-edge positions in industry in the fields of electrical and computer engineering. The Master of Electrical and Computer Engineering (M.E.C.E.) is a course-only degree program that prepares students for professional practice in electrical and computer engineering. The program can be completed in one year of full-time study.
The admission requirements for this degree follow the existing admission requirements for a master’s degree in the ECE department. Students whose accredited B.S. degree is not in electrical engineering may pursue the M.E.C.E., provided that they have an adequate background and can demonstrate proficiency in the material contained in undergraduate courses equivalent to Illinois Institute of Technologies:
