Students in the MSEE program can continue to take computer engineering courses as part of their degree program. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has an outstanding faculty of twentyfive full time professors, six of whom are Fellows of IEEE or other Professional Societies. The department offers more than fifty graduate-level courses in the areas listed above. Sponsored Research Projects within the Department include the following: Mobile Communications Networks; High Speed Data Networks; Variable Bit-Rate Videocoding; Signal Processing for Hearing Impaired; Non-Gaussian Detection; Self Adaptive Equalization; Signal Processing in Spatially Arrayed Sensors; RISC Computing; Fault Detection and Diagnosis; Computational Control Applied to Flexible Structures; Autopilots for Submarine Depth Control; Tracking Algorithms for Robots with Redundant DOF; Power Microwave Devices; Ion Implantation in Compound Semiconductors; Fabrication and Characterization of SiC material and devices; Characterization of Semiconductor Materials and Silicon on Insulator Devices; Image Processing; Sensor Management and Scheduling; Efficient Implementations of Cryptographic Algorithms; Wireless Network Security; Computer Arithmetic; Reconfigurable Computing. Many of these projects provide opportunities for Research Assistantships. In addition the department has a number of Teaching Assistantships.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees To be considered for Degree or Provisional admission to the master's programs, applicants should have the following: An earned baccalaureate in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a closely related discipline from an accredited program with a reputation for high academic standards. A grade average of B or better during the last 60 semester hours.  Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements For students who have not earned a Bachelor's degree from a United States university, satisfactory performance on the Graduate Record Examination, and for those students whose native language is not English a minimum score of 230 (computer based) or 575 (paper based) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language and 4.5 on the TOEFL Test of Written English (essay). A minimum score of 250 (computer based) or 600 (paper based) is required for applicants who wish to be considered for a graduate teaching or research assistantship.  Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: 3.0 English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements Students with B.S. or M.S. degrees in ECE-related disciplines (for example, computer science, mathematics, mechanical engineering, physics, electrical engineering technology) are encouraged to apply for admission. Such students may initially be admitted into the provisional category and will advance to degree status by satisfying the requirements described in the Admissions Categories and Admissions Requirements paragraphs. Such students may also be advised to take some courses from the undergraduate electrical or computer engineering curricula, according to their intended area of specialization and specific background.    Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: 2  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation:
