Emphasis - Electrical Engineering
M.S. in Engineering Science
Description
The M.S. in engineering science is offered in a number of emphasis areas: aeroacoustics, chemical engineering, civil engineering, computational hydroscience, computer science, electrical engineering, electromagnetics, environmental engineering, geology, geological engineering, hydrology, mechanical engineering, material science and engineering, and telecommunications.
Minimum Total Credit Hours: 30
Course Requirements
A student must complete the requirements for an emphasis area. For most emphasis areas, the degree may be completed as either a thesis option (30-hour program, to include 6 hours of thesis) or nonthesis option (30- hour program, to include a minimum of 3 hours of a design-oriented project course).
Emphasis - Electrical Engineering
Description
An M.S. in engineering science with emphasis in electrical engineering prepares a student with advanced technical knowledge and communication skills for pursuing a career in industry, engineering research and development, public service, or for doctoral work.
Course Requirements
The M.S. with emphasis in electrical engineering can be completed as either a thesis or nonthesis option.
The thesis option requires at least 24 hours of course work and at least 6 hours of thesis credit. Of the 24 hours of course work, 3 to 6 hours can be in an approved minor area, at least 1 hour must be in seminar, and no more than 3 hours can come from research credit outside the thesis.
The nonthesis option requires 27 hours of course work and a 3-hour project or research course with a written report, final oral presentation, and final oral exam. Course work for either option must be approved by the student’s advisory committee.
Other Academic Requirements
For either option, a candidate must pass a final oral examination.
Degree Requirements
