Introduction
The MS degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering program provides a wide variety of research and course opportunities from control theory to nanofabrications; device fabrication to image processing; communications to quantum mechanics; and optics to Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) design. Collaboration is possible between departments and research centers within and outside of the College of Engineering.
Thesis or Comprehensive Exam plans are available. A master's thesis is patterned after a Ph.D. dissertation but on a scaled-down level of originality and length. A public seminar presentation is not required for thesis defense. The exam is administered by a committee of three ladder faculty members selected by the student called the Examination Committee for the Master of Science degree. The formation of the MS Comprehensive Exam Committee follows the same procedure as the MS Thesis Committee formation.
