Engineering-Electrical Engineering Concentration

Prerequisites

TOEFL (Test of English as Foreign Language): ≥ 75

OR IELTS (International English Language Testing System): ≥ 6.0

GRE (Graduate Record Examination): ≥ 300 (Quantitative + Verbal)

GPA (Grade Point Average): ≥ 3.0

Newly admitted graduate students are required to be seen by a graduate advisor prior to enrolling in graduate level engineering courses. All prerequisite and deficiencies in the student’s background for a particular concentration must be addressed by completing some or all of the leveling engineering, mathematics and/or physics courses listed below.

Background Courses

Must have sufficient background in the following courses:

• ELEN 220 - Networks I (Lec. 2. Lab. 3, Cr. 3)
• ELEN 260 - Digital Systems Design (Lec. 3, Cr. 3)
• ELEN 261 - Digital Systems Design Laboratory (Lab. 3, Cr. 1)
• ELEN 304 - Networks II (Lec. 3, Cr. 3)
• ELEN 340 - Introductory Electronics (Lec. 3, Lab. 3, Cr. 4)
• ELEN 362 - Microprocessing System Design (Lec. 2, Lab. 3, Cr. 3)
• ELEN 367 - Higher Level Languages in Digital Systems Design (Lec. 3, Cr. 3)
• ELEN 410 - Communication Theory (Lec. 3, Cr. 3)
• ELEN 424 - Computer Networking (Lec. 3, Cr. 3)
• ELEN 455 - Electrical Power Systems Analysis (Lec. 3, Cr. 3)
• ENGR 354 - Electric Machinery and Power Systems (Lec. 3, Cr. 3)
• ENGR 430 - Systems and Control (Lec. 3, Cr. 3)

Requirements

• ELEN 510 - Communication Theory (Lec. 3, Cr. 3)
• ELEN 555 - Electrical Power Systems Analysis (Lec. 3, Cr. 3)
• ELEN 650 - Power Generation, Operation, and Control (Lec. 3, Cr. 3)
• ELEN 664 - Network Engineering I (Lec. 3, Cr. 3)
• ELEN 665 - Network Engineering II (Lec. 3, Cr. 3)

Notes:

• For thesis option, only 6 hours of CSCI, MATH, and STAT can be used.  For non-thesis option, only 9 hours of CSCI, MATH, and STAT can be used.
• The courses taken must be approved by an advisor.
• For non-thesis option, students must also pass the Graduate Comprehensive Exam (GCE).
  • Student must successfully pass GCE during the final semester.  This GCE is based on topics presented in required courses.
  • Student with unsatisfactory result in first attempt of GCE will be given a second exam within the same semester.  Failure on the second attempt of GCE will result in additional courses recommended by the Electrical Engineering Graduate Committee.
  • The third attempt of GCE is the final attempt and a failure in passing the GCE will result in failure to complete the Master of Engineering graduate requirements and student will not graduate from the program.

General Notes

• Credits applied must be earned within 6 calendar years from the time the student first enrolled in the program.
• No grades below ‘C’ and not more than 6 credit hours of ‘C’ work can be applied toward the degree.
• Only transfer credits with a grade of ‘B’ or better may be applied toward the degree.
