The School of Engineering and Computer Science offers work leading to the master of science degree in electrical and computer engineering, mechanical engineering, systems engineering, industrial and systems engineering, computer science and engineering, and software engineering and doctor of philosophy degrees in computer science and informatics, electrical and computer engineering, industrial and systems engineering, and mechanical engineering. It also offers a master of science program in engineering management in cooperation with the School of Business Administration.
Assistantships/Fellowships
A number of graduate assistantships and a limited number of fellowships are awarded each year on a competitive basis. They carry both stipend and tuition waiver. Graduate assistants render 20 hours per week of teaching and/or research service to the university. No such service is required of graduate fellows. Graduate assistants or fellows at the master's level, who plan to enter either the area of research and development in industry or a doctoral program, are strongly encouraged to include a master's project or thesis as part of their program.
Discipline-Specific Ph.D Programs
PhD. programs are offered in the following engineering and computer science areas:
- Computer Science and Informatics
- Electrical and Computer Engineering
- Industrial and Systems Engineering
