Electrical Engineering - Master of Engineering in Electrical Engineering

Requirements and Options for M.E.E.E. Degree

The Program Educational Objectives for the Master of Engineering Program in Electrical Engineering are:

1. That graduates successfully apply advanced skills and techniques in one or more areas of emphasis.
2. That graduates obtain relevant, productive employment with the private sector or in government and/or pursue additional advanced degrees.

The M.E.E.E. is a coursework-only option for obtaining a master's degree.  The requirement is a total of 30 credits of graduate course work, including passing with a grade of B or better six Graduate Expanded Core Courses from at least three different areas of emphasis.  No oral exam is required for the MEEE.

Credits of E E 590 Selected Topics are limited to a total of 6. Other limitations and requirements that apply to all master’s degrees are described elsewhere in this catalog.

Graduate Expanded Core Courses

The MEEE program requires students to take six courses from at least three different areas of emphasis from the list of Graduate Expanded Core Courses.  Students who may wish to pursue a Ph.D. in the future are encouraged to include three courses from the MSEE Graduate Core Courses as part of their Graduate Expanded Core; the three MSEE Graduate Core Courses will satisfy one of the requirements for the Ph.D. qualifying exam.  The areas of emphasis and credits are listed below for the Graduate Expanded Core Courses with additional specification as to which of those are the MSEE Graduate Core Courses.
