Program Description

The Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering (MS-ECE) gives students the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and gain hands-on experience in modern technologies of the field. This program offers a set of electrical and computer engineering core courses that deepens and broadens the students’ perspectives in the field. In addition, elective courses offer an opportunity for the students to follow their interests and align their coursework with their career objectives. A culminating experience of an applied research project or thesis offers an opportunity for the students to practice their knowledge and gain hands-on research experience. The non-sequential structure of most graduate courses permits students to take courses in their areas of interests without committing themselves to a long series of courses. The 30 unit degree offers a series of increasingly focused courses (lectures and hands-on labs) in electrical and computer engineering, in which students learn how to develop concrete professional skills to be successful in projects. The program takes advantage of the Bay Area’s rich industry resources and our students are encouraged to gain hands-on experience and practical knowledge of the field through internship programs. Our program prepares the students to write technical research papers, collaborate with peers for group projects, to enter Ph.D. programs at other universities, and complete lab or practicum requirements as needed. The courses are scheduled in the evenings, keeping in mind the convenience of the working engineers. Close, personal relationships with faculty and other students provides an amiable environment.
