PROGRAM INFORMATION

Electrical Engineering, MSE

(Concentration: Project Track)

The MSE degree program in Electrical and Computer Engineering offers students advanced practice oriented graduate level education in Electrical and Computer Engineering. The program offers concentration in a) Computer Architectures and Microelectronics, b) Digital Signal Processing and Digital Data Communication, and c) Intelligent Systems and Control. The course sequence in Computer Architectures and Microelectronics provides students with advanced knowledge in current practices of computer design, development, software-level testing, hardware realization and integrated circuit layout, fabrication of MOS integrated circuits for high-speed digital computation and data communication. Research concentration in Digital Signal Processing and Communication include filtering, modulation, detection of multidimensional signals in the presence of noise, voice signal processing, speaker identification, performance evaluation of local area and wireless networks, broadband networks and protocols, detection of faults in communication networks, and visualization and security of multicast networks. Research in intelligent systems includes interactive multimedia, intelligent tutoring systems, robust and optimal control, and neuro-fuzzy control.

Campus Location:
Main Campus, Fort Washington

Students are able to complete the degree program through classes offered after 4:30 p.m. Students able to complete the degree program on a part-time basis (8 credit hours or less per semester).

Areas of Specialization:
The program offers three areas of specialization through coursework and advanced research: Computer Architectures and Microelectronics, Digital Signal Processing and Digital Data Communication, and Intelligent Systems and Control. Current active research projects in the Department include embedded systems and system-on-chip design, intelligent interactive tutoring systems, speech processing, speaker identification, visualization and fault detection in multicasting networks. Other active areas of research include intelligent multimedia systems, human-computer interaction, digital signal processing, robust and optimal control, wireless data networks, and heat dissipation problems in microchips.

Job Placement:
Graduates with MSE in Electrical and Computer Engineering are employed in high-tech industries as well as government labs with responsibilities in design, analysis, and applications of electrical engineering principles. Students who complete an MSE with a thesis are prepared to enter into a doctoral program.

Affiliation(s):

Interdisciplinary Study :
The program encourages interdisciplinary research with other branches of engineering, various science departments and applied mathematics. Recent collaborative research between faculty and students of the Department of Computer and Information Sciences included visualization and fault detection in multicasting networks and image processing.

Study Abroad:

Licensure:
False

Non-degree Student Policy:
Non-matriculated students can take up to 9 s.h. of graduate level courses. If accepted to the MSE program, those courses (with grades B or above) can be applied toward the MSE degree requirements. For admission to MSE, students must fulfill the gereral admission criteria for MSE admission. Students who complete 9 s.h. courses in good standing may request a waiver of the GRE, which is usually required for admission to the MSE program.
