MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING (MSEE):
BACKGROUND
PREPARATION
Students admitted in to the MSEE degree program are required to have
the following Background preparation. A student with any deficiency is
required to clear it by either (1) taking the course at CSBU or
earning a grade of at least C or higher or (2) taking and passing a
proficiency exam on the subject. The student is advised clear all
deficiencies before attempting to enroll in graduate level courses.
1.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
SUBJECTS:
-
Circuit theory and
analysis (EE400, EE420)
-
Digital circuits and
logic design (EE206, EE450)
-
Analog Circuits
(EE431)
2.
COMPUTER SCIENCE SUBJECTS:
-
Programming language
and logic (CS414); Students choosing Embedded Engineering
concentration also require a background in CS 460, CS470.
-
Unix/linux operating
system (CS440); Students choosing Embedded Engineering
concentration also requires a background in CS490.
3.
MEZZANINE COURSE:
(Students with a back ground deficiency can take courses
EE515
and earn graduate credits )
MSEE Curriculum
A
minimum of 36 semester units of graduate study are required for
the MSEE Program. A maximum of four (4) 4xx courses (400 level courses
with a designation taken as elective courses) are allowed to count
towards graduation credits. The student must meet prerequisite
requirements when taking any of the following courses.
1.
Basic Courses
(12.0 Credits)
The
required courses emphasize understanding the mathematics and modeling
Techniques for circuits and other engineering systems, and the design
of Modern Computers. A student must take the following two courses to
complete the required Graduate course requirement. These two courses
cannot be used to meet concentration course work requirements.
EE521
Advanced Engineering Analysis
EE524
Advanced Computer Organization and Structure
EE562
Application Specific Integrated Circuit Design
EE585 Image Processing and Applications
2.
Area of Concentration
(12.0 Credits)
In
addition to the two required graduate courses in section 1, a student
must select an area of concentration and complete at least 12 credits
(four courses) listed in one chosen concentration area. This is to
ensure the students competence in a selected area.
a.
Area A:
Chip Design and VLSI
Required Courses:
EE525
Digital IC Design
EE536
Advanced Digital IC Design
EE547
Analog/Mixed Signal IC Design
EE558
VLSI Physical Design-Place and Route
3.
Courses for Breadth of
Study
(6.0 Credits)
The
student is required to take at least 6 Credits in graduate course work
outside the chosen concentration area to broaden his/her knowledge in
one or two application areas. For example, a student choosing the chip
design and VLSI concentration is encouraged to select one or two
courses in the DSP applications such as the course EE590.Courses for
breadth of study may be at 400 level with a designation or 500 level
and above. The student must observe the limits on the number of 400
level courses with a designation.
4.
Electives (6.0 Credits)
The
student may elect graduate-level courses in any discipline, in or
outside the Chosen concentration area, to meet the elective
requirements. Elective courses May also include mezzanine courses
taken to meet the background requirements For the chosen concentration
area. The student must observe the limits on the Number of 400 level
courses with a designation.
Mezzanine Course for Program Requirement
Students admitted with a
background deficiency in microprocessor structure may Take the course
“EE515 Microcomputer Structure and Programming” at CSBU. Credit earned
can be counted as elective credit towards the MSEE graduation
Requirements.
*Other Background Requirements For The Concentration Area:
-
Each concentration area requires certain 400 level background
courses. Students may earn credit towards the degree, if observing
the limit for the number of 400Level courses for the program, by
taking these courses, such as EE465, EE470, and EE481
MSEE TOTAL REQUIREMENTS
(36 credits)
