A student in the Master of Engineering Program must write an Engineering Report which is approved by the student’s advisory committee. The project serving as the basis for the Engineering Report must be focused on a problem in engineering design.
The student must also pass a final examination administered by the student’s advisory committee, which includes an oral presentation of the student's work in the Engineering Report.
Prerequisites
Prospective students must have a strong undergraduate background in electrical or computer engineering. Exemplary applicants with an undergraduate degree in other disciplines may also be eligible for the program. Students should review their academic background with the graduate student services coordinator.
Transfer Credit
A maximum of one third (1/3) of the required graded coursework may be transferred. All transfer coursework must be approved by the student’s advisor and advisory committee prior to being included on the GS-2.
