Key Summary
About: The Master of Science in Computer Engineering (MSCE) in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) focuses on Hardware Systems, Software Systems and Assured Systems. The programme values rigorous thinking, knowledge, empathy, cross-disciplinary agility and prepares students for embedded systems, VLSI, firmware, software engineering, verification and validation, cybersecurity and IoT roles.
Career Outcomes: Based on exit surveys of 2017 and 2018 Syracuse University Computer and Electrical Engineering MS graduates, career opportunities include software engineer, hardware engineer, systems engineer, embedded developer, verification engineer and cybersecurity analyst in technology, defense, telecommunications and automotive, doing design, development, testing and assurance.
Computer Engineering is a relatively new discipline, but its popularity and relevance have grown tremendously with the recent proliferation of digital computers in our daily lives.
The Master of Science in Computer Engineering (MSCE) program in the Department of EECS has three areas of primary focus:
- Hardware Systems: including design and test of VLSI systems, performance, and analysis of complex hardware systems, design methodology based on formal methods and CAD tools.
- Software Systems: including the development of large software systems, analysis of the performance of programs, the design of reusable software.
- Assured Systems: including computer and network security, formal methods, and verification. More details about these focus areas are given at the end of this section.
The MSCE program requires a minimum of 30 credit hours of graduate work beyond the Bachelor of Science (BS) degree. Normally, these 30 credit hours are achieved by students taking 10 graduate courses. This program has three components: core courses, courses to fulfill a track, and elective courses.
Based on exit surveys of 2017 and 2018 Syracuse University Computer and Electrical Engineering MS graduates.
