Electrical engineering is characterized by the breadth and diversity of subject areas that comprise the discipline. It demands, by its nature, intensive application of mathematics and computational tools. The program is designed to prepare the student to apply these tools to engineering problems. Major areas of study include: electronic circuits, communication systems, digital computer systems, electromagnetic's, digital signal processing, and many others. Each of these areas has its own sub-area. For instance, communication systems include traditional analog communications, modern digital communications, wireless communication systems, coding theory and other topics. Electromagnetic's includes such areas as antennas, electromagnetic compatibility, microwaves, and transmission lines. The master's degree program in electrical engineering will provide qualified students the opportunity to pursue advanced study in these areas.
