From the power grid to smartphones, electrical engineers design the technologies that make modern life possible. The major EE research areas include power/energy systems, wireless communications, electromagnetics, signal processing, materials and devices, microelectronics, and control systems. Funding opportunities are available for top students interested in pursuing research, including Graduate Teaching Assistantship (GTA’s) and Graduate Research Assistantships (GRA’s).

Requires an accredited bachelors’ degree in engineering, physics, mathematics, computer science, or other appropriate field. Admission into the M.Sc. Program requires that the applicant have an undergraduate grade point average above 3.0 (based on a 4.0 scale), that their EE course grades are strong (B average or better), and that their letters of recommendation are positive. In borderline cases, specific scholastic requirements may need to be set by the EE Graduate Program Committee.
