Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering - Control, Robotics, and Embedded Systems

The MS program in electrical and computer engineering requires 36 to 40 semester hours of study. How you earn those credits-and what your academic experience is like-depends on whether you select the thesis option or the coursework-only option. The thesis option is ideal for MS students who are interested in conducting research. This option is strongly advised if you may be interested in pursuing a PhD in the future.Researching and writing a master?s thesis is an academically intensive process that takes the place of 8 credits of traditional coursework. Students work with a faculty advisor to choose a topic of interest, engage in high-level study of that topic, and develop a paper that may be suitable for submission to a conference or journal.The thesis experience provides definition to your master?s degree experience and can bolster your application for jobs or doctoral-level study by demonstrating your capabilities. The area of control will help you learn how to design devices (with underlying algorithms) that modulate the input of a system in order to produce the desired output response. In a practical embedded system, such a device is implemented on a digital/mixed-signal computational platform and is an integral part of the overall system that is typically electrical and/or mechanical. Robotics is an important application area for control and embedded systems, they are widely used in industries ranging from manufacturing to pharmaceuticals, they enable safe operation of cars, airplanes and the power grid/systems, and they save lives through medical devices.
