Master of Science in
Electrical Engineering |
|
| |
The program leading to the degree of Master of Science
provides an opportunity for the student to pursue
advanced studies in a particular field of major interest
and an opportunity to engage in research and engineering
design.
The master’s program in electrical engineering consists
of a total of 30 credit hours: 9 credit hours of core
courses in the department’s technical specialty areas to
provide breadth, 3 credit hours of MATH elective courses
at the 500 or 600 level offered by the Mathematics
Department or EE 570, 12 credit hours of elective
courses in one subject area to provide depth, at least
nine of which are in Electrical Engineering, and 6
credit hours for the thesis.
The core courses include Digital Communication I, Analog
Integrated Circuits Design, Design of Digital Systems,
Radiation and Propagation of Electromagnetic Waves,
Power System Analysis, Linear Control systems, and
Digital signal Processing I.

Thesis Advisor and Thesis Topic
A thesis is required of all candidates for the Master of Science (M.S.). The graduate
student must contact faculty members in his major field for a thesis topic as early as
possible. He must select a thesis topic and a thesis advisor before completing his
course work. A thesis committee shall be formed in consultation with the thesis
advisor and approved by the Department Chairman and the Dean of Graduate Studies.
The thesis topic must be in the major field of the student, and must be formally
approved by the thesis advisor, the thesis committee, the Department chairman and the Dean of Graduate Studies.

Thesis
Upon completion of the research, the written report must be prepared and approved.
The thesis must be written in conformity with the general publication regulations of the University.
Completed copies of the thesis must be submitted to the thesis advisor, the thesis
committee, and the department not less than two weeks prior to the date of the thesis defense.
The thesis defense must be scheduled not less than two weeks before the Graduation
Convocation. Four copies of the thesis incorporating any necessary corrections and
approved by the thesis committee, and the department chairman, must be submitted
to the College of Graduate Studies not less than ten days before the Graduation Convocation. An additional copy must be submitted to the Department.
|
|
| |
Oral Defence
An oral examination to defend the M.S. degree thesis is required of all candidates for a
M.S. degree. The student shall, in consultation with his thesis committee and after the approval of the
College of Graduate Studies, arrange the time and place of defending his thesis publicly.
