MSc in Electrical Engineering in Irvine United States | University of California Irvine

The Electrical Engineering department focuses on several key research domains: optical and solid-state technologies encompassing quantum electronics, photonics, integrated electro-optics and acoustics, semiconductor device and material engineering, analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, microwave technology, and acoustic microscopy. Additionally, they explore systems engineering and signal processing, covering communications theory, computer vision, signal analysis, power electronics, neural networks, network communications, systems design, and control systems. Network communication subjects are further examined through the Networked Systems graduate programs (detailed in the Interdisciplinary Studies portion of the Catalogue).

The Master's program provides two pathways: a thesis track and a comprehensive exam track. Both options require students to formulate a structured academic plan with departmental guidance, subject to approval by the graduate advisor. The M.S. program accommodates part-time enrollment and mandates completion within four years of initial registration.
