Computer engineering involves the application of the principles of electrical engineering and computer science for the benefit of society. Computer engineers design and use digital computers for instrumentation, control, communication, and power conversion systems.
For further information about undergraduate degree requirements, please refer
to the
Graduate Curricular Requirements and the
University
Catalog Information page.
To be approved, programs must satisfy both the university requirements governing the M.S. degree and must be enrolled in
ECE 591, Electrical Engineering Research Colloquium, during each semester of on-campus enrollment.
Outcomes
Graduates of the Master of Science Program in Computer Engineering will demonstrate:
- An in-depth knowledge of the degree subject matter, integrating and building upon the foundation provided by a relevant undergraduate degree;
- The ability to use the results of applied research and other existing information to necessary to either carry an engineering project from the conceptual through the design and production phases or perform advanced laboratory or computer simulation studies and appropriately and accurately analyze and interpret results;
- The ability to communicate professional work in an appropriate format and
- An understanding of their responsibility to enhance the quality of life of the global community through the practice of engineering in accordance with the IEEE Code of Ethics.
Assessment Process
Every student is required to write a report and give a final presentation at the end of their degree program.
The student's graduate committee will follow an outcomes assessment rubric through a combination of guided discussion with the degree candidate and in discussion as a committee. The committee will submit a report to the ECE graduate committee, who will perform an assessment of these results and report to the ECE faculty. The ECE faculty will follow up on ways to close the loop to improve the program.
