The Master’s Degree in Computer Engineering is a course of study intended to prepare individuals whose undergraduate background is in computer or electrical engineering for advanced professional work in the field and for further study leading to the doctorate. Emphasis is placed on current state-of-the-art applications including parallel computing, image processing, VLSI design, sensing, robotics, mobile computing, automation and the like. Customized study plans to allow receiving the Computer Engineering M.S. degree while pursuing either the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering or the Ed.D. degree in Education are available. Doctoral students in these two programs should consult their respective doctoral advisors to work on their individualized plans.

Computer Engineering Students will: 1. Demonstrate an in depth and comprehensive understanding of Computer Engineering. 2. Have an enhanced ability to learn, on their own, technical details for which they are responsible. 3. Have an enhanced ability to apply the knowledge learned to solve technical problems that arise in research they conduct or supervise. 4. Have an enhanced ability to study an issue, identify and evaluate alternative actions, propose an optimal course of action. 5. Have an enhanced ability to prepare technical point papers, brief their seniors, and defend their conclusions
