The M.S. in engineering science is offered in a number of emphasis areas: aeroacoustics, chemical engineering, civil engineering, computational hydro science, computer science, electrical engineering, electromagnetics, environmental engineering, geology, geological engineering, hydrology, mechanical engineering, material science and engineering, and telecommunications.

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.
