GraduateDegree:
M.S.Description:
The Master of Science (MS) in Computer Engineering is designed to advance the student’s knowledge in several areas of engineering. This degree provides breadth through its flexible minor or technical elective requirement, while permitting the student to achieve depth in one of several areas of specialization; specifically these areas are as follows for the MS (CPE): communications, DSP and networking; robotics, embedded systems, and instrumentation; computer systems engineering; software engineering. These areas of specialization have been selected to coincide with those of high current interest as well as those emerging technologies that hold promise of increasing importance for the future. This program prepares the student for academic and industrial advancement. All programs offer a thesis and a non-thesis option.
Total Credit Hours:
45qrt. hrs.Other Requirements:
A Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering (BSCPE) or closely related field is required for admission to the MS (CPE) program. Those students whose backgrounds differ significantly from EAC/ABET-accredited BS computer engineering programs may be required to complete prerequisite undergraduate courses; such courses are not considered part of the 45-credit-hour requirement for the degree. A competency examination may be required of MS (CPE) candidates who do not possess a 3.0 GPA or a BS in electrical, electronic or computer engineering from an EAC/ABET accredited program. Students with BS degrees in physics, mathematics, computer science, engineering science, electrical or mechanical engineering technology, engineering physics or similar bachelor of science degrees may also be admitted. However, these students should be able to demonstrate competency in the following basic subjects by passing an appropriate competency examination:
MS (CPE)
• Circuits and Electronics
• Digital Systems
• Computer Organization
• A high- or low-level computer language
Students may be admitted provisionally while they take the appropriate prerequisite courses should it be determined from the competency examination or from the prior academic records that certain needed skills are lacking. Through the satisfactory completion of the stated provisional requirements, the student’s status will be changed from provisional to regular status.
