About the course

The Holcombe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computer engineering. The research activities of the Holcombe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering are clustered into the four major areas of communications systems and networks, computer systems architecture, digital signal processing and intelligent systems.

　　All M.S. students are admitted into a focus area ? applied electromagnetics, electrical engineering communication networks, electrical engineering digital communication, digital signal processing, electronics, intelligent systems, and power and energy systems ? and must satisfy the requirements for that area. The M.S. program includes an all-coursework option and a thesis option. The all-coursework option includes a minimum of 30 credit hours, at least 18 of which much be at the 8000 level. The thesis option includes a minimum of 30 credit hours, including 12 credit hours at the 8000 level and an additional 6 hours of ECE 8910 (master?s thesis research). Students supported as research assistants are almost always required to choose the thesis options, and students wishing to pursue a Ph.D. should strongly consider the thesis option. The Ph.D. program includes a direct-entry option for suitably qualified students having completed a baccalaureate degree. Students in the computer engineering Ph.D. program complete a minimum of 24 hours of graduate coursework and 18 hours of research beyond the master's degree.
