The graduate program in computer engineering aims to support students' ongoing professional and academic growth. The Master of Science (M.S.) curriculum focuses on expanding students' expertise in a specific specialization area. This Computer Engineering M.S. program equips graduates to handle cutting-edge computer architecture and hardware technologies, enabling them to enter the rapidly expanding IT field or pursue further studies in a Ph.D. program. Successful completion of the M.S. in Computer Engineering provides students with:Expertise in designing and testing embedded systems
Proficiency with microcontrollers, SoCs, and FPGA devices
Comprehension of multi-threaded programming across bare-metal systems, custom RTOS, and embedded Linux environments
Ability to implement networking IP stacks
Skills in developing network and wireless protocols for IoT devices
Capability to design real-time operating systems
Experience implementing RISC processors in FPGA platforms
Competence in creating advanced digital logic systems
Skills for analyzing and developing microprocessor systems
Knowledge for controlling electromechanical actuator and sensor systems

Qualification Requirements
An undergraduate degree, preferably in an area related to computer science, computer engineering, or software engineering.
An overall GPA of 3.0 or higher in undergraduate coursework.
A 3.2 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) on the last two years of undergraduate coursework. In particular, performance on Computer Science/Computer Engineering/Software Engineering related courses are emphasized.
Relevance of the student’s degree (background) to the CSE curriculum.
Rigor of the student’s Bachelor’s degree. A three-year degree is not considered rigorous. Note: International applicants with a “3+2” Master’s degree will be evaluated as equivalent to a 4-year Bachelor’s degree.
Reputation of the University/College from which the student has received his/her previous degrees.
A sum of verbal plus quantitative scores of at least 305 on the GRE. Additionally:
GRE quantitative score of at least 160
GRE verbal score of at least 145
The department does not require the advanced computer science test. A passing score on the Engineering in-Training (EIT) exam is also given consideration for admission decisions.
Students may be accepted with a GRE score of 300, but may be required to complete additional coursework for their MS degree (see degree requirements found later in this document). In this case:
GRE quantitative score of at least 155
GRE verbal score of at least 145
Students may also be accepted with up to three deficiency courses, but may be required to do additional coursework for their MS degree (see degree requirements found later in this document).
International Applicants will need to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and score at least 83 with no area score of less than 20, or take the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) and score at least 6.5 in all areas.
