The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECpE) provides four distinct pathways to obtain graduate degrees in electrical and computer engineering: a thesis-based Master of Science, a creative component Master of Science, a conventional Ph.D., and a direct entry Ph.D. program. Ph.D. candidates have completed their degrees in just four years, while master's students typically finish within two years. Additionally, students can choose ECpE as their primary department for interdisciplinary graduate programs in bioinformatics and computational biology (Ph.D.), cybersecurity (MS, Ph.D.), and human-computer interaction (MS, Ph.D., and certificate programs).
Our Electric Power and Energy Systems research team stands among the nation's most dynamic academic groups in power systems research. Key focus areas encompass power grid dynamics and control, operational strategies, distribution network optimization, system reliability and resilience, cascading failure prevention, voltage stability, energy economics and markets, infrastructure management, renewable energy integration (wind and solar), distributed generation technologies, and long-term system development planning.
