The Master of Science in Telecommunication Engineering
is a unique graduate program designed to prepare highly
trained professionals to practice in the fast-changing
telecommunications industry.
The program is open to students holding a BS degree in
EE, COE or equivalent. Students enrolled in this program
are required to complete 24 credit hours of courses
(eight 3-credit hour courses), plus a 6 credit hour of
thesis, in excess of any remedial courses to rectify
possible deficiency in a student undergraduate
education. The eight courses include four required
courses, three technical elective courses, and a
non-technical elective course. The following list
enumerates courses in each of the three categories:

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.
