The Master of Science program in electrical and computer engineering demands completion of 36 to 40 semester credit hours. Your path to earning these credits and the nature of your academic journey will vary based on whether you choose the thesis track or the non-thesis coursework option.
This specialization aims to equip students and researchers with knowledge and hands-on experience in power electronics, power management, and power systems. The curriculum covers diverse applications including smart/micro grids, electric and self-driving vehicles, renewable energy solutions, aerospace technology, motor control systems, telecommunications, cyber-physical networks, wireless power transfer, VLSI design, power ICs, and IoT applications. Power electronics focuses on semiconductor-based power conversion circuits and systems, while power management emphasizes intelligent control and integrated circuit solutions. Power systems introduces fundamental concepts of energy distribution networks. Students have opportunities to broaden their expertise in related fields such as control systems, analog/digital circuit design, semiconductor physics, cyber-physical systems, artificial intelligence, and electromagnetic theory.
