Electrical and Computer Engineering

What hardware and software architectures will define next-generation cellular phones? Can laser communications be made to serve urban local network connections? How can we create an efficient communications system that transmits real-time HDTV from space? At EPP, far-reaching questions such as these are part of everyday electrical and computer engineering instruction.

EPP's Electrical and Computer Engineering program is one of the largest advanced degree programs in the country. It covers theory as well as practice, technical as well as operational issues, and fundamental knowledge as well as state-of-the-art applications. Graduates are prepared to make their mark in the field, whether in research and development, product design, consulting, management, or business. Students in the M.S. program can select an area of concentration from seven possibilities, and elect to pursue a Telecommunications Option or Photonics Option. Highlights include:

  • Classes conveniently scheduled weekday evenings and Saturdays at academic centers, with a number of courses also available online
  • State-of-the art techniques and facilities
  • Independent study project options mentored by program faculty members; optional lab course
  • Opportunity to take courses and/or concentrate in telecommunications, computer engineering, RF and microwave engineering, photonics, electronics and the solid state, signal processing, systems and control
  • No thesis required

Programs offered:

  • Master of Science (M.S.) in Electrical and Computer Engineering
  • Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering with Telecommunications Option
  • Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering with Photonics Option
  • Advanced Certificate for Post-Master's Study
