Electrical Engineering

The MSEE program offers four areas of specialization:

• Control System Analysis and Synthesis
• Electric Power and Energy Systems
• Microelectronics, Microsystems and Nanotechnology
• Modern Communications System Design

Each student must choose an area of specialization. The student’s degree program will be a combination of the core courses, specialization areas (depth requirement) and the breadth requirement. Each student is required to complete the 2 core courses. Students may choose from any of the courses from their area of specialization but should keep in mind the 4000-level requirement of the degree.

Core courses for all Electrical Engineering Students

The following courses are required for all electrical engineering students regardless of area of specialization:

            ENEE 4640 Electromagnetic Compatibility

            ENGR 3620 Advanced Engineering Mathematics

Specialization in Control System Analysis and Synthesis

This area of specialization prepares students for basic and applied research and development of complex systems, including, electrical, mechanical, bio-inspired, mechatronic, and robotic systems, as well as unmanned systems. This is accomplished through several theoretical courses and applied courses. Students must choose from the following courses:
