The M.Sc. program combines academic coursework with research, culminating in a thesis and its defense. The M.Eng. is a practice-oriented degree focusing on coursework, limited research, and a final project or research paper with a presentation. At its core, engineering aims to enhance human welfare globally by applying scientific and mathematical principles to societal challenges. For electrical and computer engineering specifically, this means creating and refining electrical systems, computing hardware, and their supporting software to serve both personal and commercial needs.
Contemporary society depends profoundly on electrical and computer engineering innovations. Nearly every facet of modern living involves electrical and computing technologies, with microprocessors embedded in about 80% of electronic devices. Imagine daily life without smartphones, computers, TVs, vehicles, refrigeration, or internet connectivity - these essential technologies all stem from electrical and computer engineering. These professionals continuously develop, enhance, and implement the electronic systems that power our modern existence.
