The Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering (ECEE) Department at CU dates back to the 1890s and the earliest days of the Engineering College. There are 40 full-time faculty members in ECEE along with a host of adjunct, research, and jointly appointed faculty. Annual research expenditures are near $6M. Research grants from NASA, DARPA, the National Science Foundation, NOAA and collaborative industrial and military funding provide support for qualified graduate students. The program also has unique facilities and equipment for experimental and theoretical training, and for conducting subject-specific research. Master of science (MS) degrees are individual degrees each focused on a specific technical discipline, with some interdisciplinary flexibility allowed outside a student’s specialization. MS degrees are oriented for individuals seeking a research career in ECEE or a technical industry career. An MS degree requires completion of 30 credit hours. Students can do either a thesis or non-thesis option. Under both options, all but one course must be technical; in the thesis option, 4-6 hours of the total 30 are thesis study.
