What will I learn?

The purpose of the graduate program in computer engineering is to facilitate the student's continued professional and scholarly development. The Master of Science (M.S.) program is designed to extend the student's knowledge and emphasize a particular area of concentration. The M.S. in Computer Engineering degree program prepares graduates to work with the latest computer organization technology and computer hardware to gain employment in the ever-growing IT industry or prepare for continuation to a Ph.D. program. The M.S. degree in computer engineering is intended to give those who successfully complete it:Knowledge and skills required to design and test embedded systemsUsing microcontrollers, system-on-chip, and FPGA devicesUnderstanding multi-threaded programming on bare-metal, custom real-time operating systems, and embedded Linux systemsImplementation of IP stacks for computer networkingNetwork and wireless protocol development for Internet of Things devicesDesign of real-time operating systemsImplementation of RISC processors in FPGA devicesDesign of advanced digital logic systemsAnalysis and design of microprocessor systemsControl of systems with electromechanical actuators and sensors

Entry requirements

For international students

An undergraduate degree, preferably in an area related to computer science, computer engineering, or software engineering.
An overall GPA of 3.0 or higher in undergraduate coursework.
A 3.2 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) on the last two years of undergraduate coursework. In particular, performance on Computer Science/Computer Engineering/Software Engineering related courses are emphasized.
Relevance of the students degree (background) to the CSE curriculum.
Rigor of the students Bachelors degree. A three-year degree is not considered rigorous. Note: International applicants with a “3 plus 2” Masters degree will be evaluated as equivalent to a 4-year Bachelors degree.
Reputation of the University/College from which the student has received his/her previous degrees.
A sum of verbal plus quantitative scores of at least 305 on the GRE. Additionally:
GRE quantitative score of at least 160
GRE verbal score of at least 145
The department does not require the advanced computer science test. A passing score on the Engineering in-Training (EIT) exam is also given consideration for admission decisions.
Students may be accepted with a GRE score of 300, but may be required to complete additional coursework for their MS degree (see degree requirements found later in this document).
