The program could be completed in slightly longer than one year and will lead to a Master of Technology Transfer in Electrical Engineering Degree. In order to complete the program in about one year, the student begins the Program by taking two courses during a summer session. The student then takes four courses in each of the following two semesters. It is also possible to receive the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering Degree by completing additional course work beyond that required in the Program. The student should consult with the Program advisor.
Some courses are required, the rest are electives.
An academic advisor will be assigned to each student and will assist the student in identifying the most appropriate path through the program. It is anticipated that this program will initially attract students who have already received the BSEE degree and are already working in industry or government. Additionally, it is anticipated that students will eventually stay on for this program after receiving the BSEE degree from Washington University. In order to successfully complete the Program, the student must complete a rigor of formal course work, attend a sequence of guest lectures, and participate in interactive meetings and facility tours in either Europe or Asia. A minimum of ten courses, drawn from a menu of 26 possible courses, must be completed for the Program.
