Participants in the MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) is open to both entry-level graduate students who want to pursue a career in electrical and computer engineering and professionals who have responsibilities in engineering or computer science fields and want to further their knowledge and skills.

The program offers three tracks: audio engineering, data analytics, sensors and devices, and a general ECE track.

Specialty areas of study in Electrical and Computer Engineering include:

  • Statistical signal processing
  • Image and video processing, pattern recognition, computer vision and automation of visual tasks
  • Machine learning and big data analytics
  • Bioinformatics, computational biology and genomics
  • Nano-photonics, plasmonics, micro/nano-electronic devices, nano-materials and structures
  • Fusion and learning in networks
  • Data mining, multimedia information systems, multimedia networking and security
  • Intelligent sensor microchips and MEMS, BioMEMS, implantable medical devices, VLSI, ASICS, system-on-a-chip and FPGAs
  • Integrated optics, holography, lithography, spectral imaging and optical coherence tomography
  • Game theory and multi-agent systems
