Electrical Engineering Master’s Thesis<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Master’s Thesis (MS-T) degree in Electrical Engineering requires 30 credits. Requirements for the thesis MS are 24 hours of coursework and 6 credits of thesis research. Additionally, a maximum of 6 credits of independent study can be used to fulfill degree requirements. There are three tracks in Electrical Engineering: 1) Antennas and Wireless Communications (AWC), 2) Power and Energy Systems (PES), and 3) Information and Systems Sciences (ISS). Students are encouraged to decide between tracks before pursuing an advanced degree.<\/p>\n
