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 (EE390, EE410)
- Digital circuits and logic design (EE440)
2. COMPUTER SCIENCE SUBJECTS:
- Programming language and logic (CS404); Students choosing Embedded Engineering concentration also require a background in CS460.
- Unix/Linux operating system (CS430); Students choosing Embedded Engineering concentration also requires a background in CS480.
3. MEZZANINE COURSE: (Students with a back ground deficiency can take these courses and earn graduate credits)
- EE505
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 (6.0 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.
EE511 Advanced Engineering Analysis
EE514 Advanced Computer Organization and Structure
2.) Area of Concentration (12.0 Credits)
In addition to the two required graduate courses in section I, a student must select an area of concentration and complete at least 12 credits (4courses) listed in one Chosen concentration area. This is to ensure the students competence in a selected area. As new courses are also offered between publications of school catalogs, the Students are advised to refer to the “Concentration Area Course Tables published with each release of the semester class schedule to select courses for meeting the Concentration area requirements.
Area A, Chip Design and VLSI
Required Courses:
EE515 Digital IC Design
EE526 Advanced Digital IC Design
Area B, Digital Signal Processing
Required Courses:
EE571 Data Compression
EE575 Image Processing and Applications
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 EE580.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 (12.0 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 “EE505 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 EE455, EE460, EE471.
MSEE TOTAL REQUIREMENTS (36 credits)
