What will I learn?

Contribute to state-of-the-art engineering research alongside expert faculty-mentors in this advanced program, offered on our Long Island and New York City campuses. Learn to address, sustain, and lead in innovative, competitive environments in the fields of bioengineering, electrical and computer engineering, and mechanical engineering.

What You’ll Learn

Immerse yourself in applied high-tech research and complex topics alongside renowned faculty experts in our state-of-the-art research labs. Select one of three future-focused concentrations:

Bioengineering: Immerse yourself in advances in micro- and nano-technologies, wireless communication and power transfer, sensor miniaturization, on-chip real-time signal processing, and mathematical modeling of biological systems that will allow you to develop smart, high-performance systems that are dependable, efficient, and secure.
Electrical and Computer Engineering: Tackle fundamentals and advanced theory in robotics, microelectronics, micro and nano systems, control systems, image and signal processing, computer networks, and radar and communications systems.
Mechanical Engineering: Research and coursework provide technology-infused training in solid mechanics, heat transfer and thermofluid systems, energy systems, biomechanics and biomedical devices, micro/nano sensors, controls, and dynamic systems.

To successfully complete the program, you will need to pass both the qualifying examination and the preliminary dissertation proposal—typically in the summer after your third year.
