MS学位致力于建立良好的理论基础，并使学生处于发展的前沿。研究生课程的抽象性质要求他们具有批判性思维以及较高水平的数学和算法能力，这使得MS毕业生可以承担通常在BS工程师身分之外的职责和监督。理科硕士课程学生学习以下四个广泛领域之一：计算机工程，电磁学，微电子学和超大规模集成电路以及信号与系统，攻读理科硕士学位的学生与教职顾问密切合作，并开发必要的研究和设计工具，以参与该领域的前沿发展该学科。申请获得硕士学位的学生可以在申请表中表明他们的研究兴趣和首选的教职顾问。
The MS degree concentrates on establishing a sound theoretical foundation and on exposing students to advanced developments. The critical thinking and high level of mathematical and algorithmic facility required by the abstract nature of graduate courses allow the MS graduate to assume responsibility and supervision beyond that normally given a BS engineer.<br>MS students study in one of four broad areas:<br><br>Computer Engineering<br>Electromagetics<br>Microelectronics and VLSI<br>Signals and Systems<br>Students pursuing the MS degree work closely with a faculty advisor and develop the research and design tools necessary to participate in the leading edge developments in the discipline. Students applying for the MS degree should indicate their research interests and preferred faculty advisor within the application.
