MA/MS in Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering

Electrical and computer engineering are joined in this master's program, run by the department of that name in Chicago. A doctorate is awarded there as well, and the subject matter covers both halves of the field. Faculty pursue research in quantum computing, robotics, wireless communication, processing of signals, electromagnetics, hardware security, smart power grids, networked devices, and machine learning. A student can therefore choose between hardware-oriented and computing-oriented topics, or combine them. The department keeps its own website for curriculum, rules, policies, and course information, and that site is the place to look for the current picture. The catalog page also links to admission and degree requirements, which applicants should review before preparing a submission or choosing their courses.
