电气和计算机工程系提供电气工程和计算机工程专业的理学硕士学位（MS），以及电气和计算机工程专业的哲学博士（Ph.D.）学位。MS学位课程提供论文和非论文选项。为了使学生成为电气工程或计算机工程研究生学位的候选人，他/她必须已经获得了电气或计算机工程理学学士学位，或者在其他所有方面都表现出很高的学术能力该学位所需的本科课程。上面列出了每个学位的具体课程，论文和考试要求。论文和非论文选项可用于计算机工程硕士。对于非论文学位，至少需要30个学期的课程。论文选修需要30个学时，其中6个ECE699学分将与研究生院
Thesis and non-thesis options are available for the M.S. Computer Engineering. For a non-thesis degree, a minimum of 30 semester hours of coursework is required. Thesis options require 30 credit hours, of which six credits of ECE699 shall be devoted to individual study with a graduate faculty member. This work must culminate in preparing a written thesis on a significant problem of common interest and an oral defense of the thesis. Students completing a thesis must also complete one credit of Responsible Conduct of Research training. At the advisory committee's or Graduate Coordinator's discretion, this credit may be substituted for one of the 6 required thesis/dissertation credits (ECE699).<br><br>To obtain a master's degree in Computer Engineering, a student must have at least a GPA of 3.0 for all courses taken as a graduate student. In both the non-thesis and thesis options, at least 18 credit hours must be ECE course credit hours.<br><br>Admission Requirements<br><br>For students to become candidates for a Master of Science degree in Computer Engineering, they must either have completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering or at least demonstrated its equivalent, with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better (on a 4.0 scale). If students do not hold a B.S. degree in Computer Engineering, they must complete or demonstrate the equivalent to at least three of the following five prerequisite courses: Introduction to Unix Systems Administration (ECE 331), Embedded Systems (ECE 471), Computer Architecture and Organization (ECE 473), Digital Signal Processing (ECE 486), and Neural Networks (ECE 490). A student may be provisionally admitted to the program pending the completion of prerequisite course(s) with a grade of B or better.
