Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE)
Background Preparation
Students admitted into 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 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:
MSEE Curriculum
A minimum of 36 semester units of graduate study are required for the MSEE program. A maximum of five (5) 4xxG courses (400 level courses with a "G" designation) are allowed to count towards graduationcredits. 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 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. Chip Design and VLSI EE461G Verilog HDL and Ditgital Design EE488G Computer Architecture EE505 Digital IC Design EE506 Advanced Digital IC Design EE507 Analog/Mixed Signal IC Design EE508 VLSI Physical Design-Place and Route EE510 Logic Synthesis EE512 Application Specific Integrated Circuit Design (ASIC) Area B. Embedded Engineering (*Background requirements: CS350 Data Structures and CS350L, CS360 Object-oriented Programming in C++, and CS380 Operating Systems) CE450G Fundamentals of Embedded Systems EE461G Verilog HDL and Digital Design EE481G Microcomputer Structure and Programming EE488G Computer Architecture 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 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. 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 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 embedded engineering. Courses for breadth of study 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. The student must observe the limits on the number of 400 level courses with a "G" designation. MSEE Total Requirements (36 units) |
