Master of Science in Computer Systems
Engineering (MSCSE)
Background Preparation
Students admitted into the MSCSE 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 NPU and earning a grade of at least C- or higher or (2) taking and passing a proficiency exam on the subject. The student must clear all deficiencies before attempting to enroll in graduate level courses. 1. Mathematics and English/Communication:
3. Electrical Engineering Subjects:
MSCSE Curriculum
A minimum of 36 semester units of graduate study are required for the MSCSE program. A maximum of five (5) 4xxG courses (400 level courses with a G designation) are allowed to count towards graduation credits. The student must meet prerequisite requirements when taking any of the following courses. I. Area of Concentration A student must select an area of concentration and complete the courses required for the concentration area as listed below.This is to ensure the student's 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. Embedded Engineering (The student must also have a background in CE470G Computer Networks.) CE450G Fundamentals of Embedded Systems CE506 Operating System Design CE521 Real-time Systems and Programming CE523 Embedded Design in Device Driver Environment and at least one of the following three courses: CE527 Embedded Systems in Windows CE Environment CE528 Embedded Systems in VxWorks and Windows CE Environment CE530 Embedded Software Design in Linux Area B. Computer Networks and Network Security (The student must also have a background in CE470G Computer Networks.) CE506 Operating System Design CS503 Advanced Computer Networks CS510 UNIX/Linux System Programming CS515 Linux / UNIX Network Programming CS535 Network Security Fundamentals CS575 Network Analysis and Testing Area C. Communication Systems EE450G Signals and Systems EE451G Introduction to Communication Systems EE530 Analytical Methods for Communications Engineers EE531 Data Compression CE504 Introduction to Wireless Communication CE505 Wireless networks and Architecture CE507 Wireless Communication Systems Area D. Bioengineering (Students are encouraged to take IT510 to gain practical skills required in bioengineering projects) BE450G Introduction to Bioengineering BE505 Fundamentals of Bioinformatics BE510 Biometrics and Computer Aided Detection (CAD) Technology BE515 Bioinformatics Methodologies Area E. Nanotechnology and NEMS EE466G Introduction to Nanotechnology EE501 Advanced Engineering Analysis EE581 Electrons, Photons, and Nanotechnology EE583 Introduction to Nanoelectromechanical Systems (NEMS) EE590 Nanotechnology Project II. Courses for Breadth of Study (minimum 6 units) The student is required to take at least 6 units in graduate coursework outside the chosen concentration area. The courses may be at 400 level with a "G" designation or 500 level and above. The student must observe the limits on the number of 400 level courses with a "G" designation. III. Electives The student may elect graduate-level courses in any discipline, in or outside the chosen concentration area, to meet the elective requirements. Credit earned from taking CE470G to meet the background requirement for the concentration areas can be counted as electives. The student must observe the limits on the number of 400 level courses with a "G" designation. MSCSE Total Requirements (36 units) |
