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.

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 units. 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 courses to complete the required Graduate course requirement.

EE460 System Analysis and Simulations
EE468 Modern Software Techniques for Electrical Engineering
EE524 Advanced Computer Organization and Structure
EE562 Application Specific Integrated Circuit Design

2.) Core Requirements   (12.0 Credits)
In addition to the required graduate courses in section 1, a student must select an area of concentration and complete at least 12 units (four courses) listed in one chosen concentration area. This is to ensure the students competence in a selected area.

Required Courses:
EE525 Digital IC Design
EE536 Advanced Digital IC Design
EE547 Analog/Mixed Signal IC Design
EE562 Application Specific Integrated Circuit Design

3.) Electives     (9.0 Credits)  
The student may elect graduate-level courses in any discipline, in or outside the Chosen concentration area, to meet the elective requirements. Prerequisite requirements must be met when taking any courses. The student must observe the limits on the Number of 400 level courses with a designation.

4.) Master's Project     (3.0 Credits)
Required course:
EE607 Master's Project
