Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) brings together computing and electrical engineering in a way that embodies the science and technology of design, construction, implementation and maintenance of software and hardware components of modern computing systems, computer-controlled equipment, and networks of intelligent devices. ECE is the computing discipline that explicitly focuses on the development of hardware and software interface as a hardware-embedded element of a computing system, and enables graduates to analyze and design circuits, manage the design of computer hardware components, and develop networking hardware solutions. ECE also provides excellent preparation for the design and development of modern technologies that tightly integrate the physical world with the world of the artificial.
The ECE MSE degree responds to the growing needs of interconnected sectors of science and technology and educates highly-competitive researchers and professionals in the fields of electrical and electronic engineering.
The degree is awarded upon successful completion of a minimum of 32 credits.
