About the course

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) admits students to graduate studies through either the M.S. or Ph.D. programs. ECE offers graduate programs leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering with specializations in each of the following areas: communication theory and systems, computer engineering, electronic circuits and systems, electronic devices and materials, intelligent systems, robotics and control, magnetic recording, photonics, radio and space science, and signal and image processing. In addition, there are interdepartmental curricula in advanced manufacturing, applied ocean sciences, and materials science. The M.S. program is also research oriented, and intended to provide the intensive technical preparation necessary for subsequent pursuit of a Ph.D. Two plans of study are offered, both requiring successful completion of 48 quarter units of course credit. Plan I is a combination of course work and research, culminating in the preparation of a thesis. Plan II involves course work only and culminates in a comprehensive examination.
