Classes are offered in the late afternoon and evening hours to enable students to earn their master's degrees through part-time study. A wide selection of course offerings is available to graduate students in electrical engineering. Students are required and encouraged to enroll in appropriate offerings in other departments, such as physics, computer science, mathematics, statistics, chemical engineering, physical chemistry, and mechanical engineering. The advisor and the student, with the concurrence of the department graduate committee, are free to use great flexibility at both the MS and PhD levels to choose courses from any scientific field to fit a particular goal. Students in this program develop a broadunderstanding of both hardware and software design issues.
All new students begin the program in the fall semester.
Course offerings cover a broad spectrum of areas within electrical engineering. The Department has a number of well recognized research strengths. Our programs are strongly related to the engineering needs of business and industry in the automotive capital of the world. Our engineering programs emphasize teaching and research as one of the top 100 research universities of the nation.
