Master of Engineering (MEng/MSc) in Electrical Engineering

About

The Rensselaer at Hartford master’s program in Electrical Engineering allows students to increase their competence in a number of Electrical Engineering subjects, particularly in Digital Communications and Signal Processing, Control Systems, and Communication Networks. Students who have received a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering from an accredited institution, a GPA in the upper quartile, and some work experience in a high-technology environment. Students with a B.S. degree in another engineering discipline, mathematics, or physics may be admitted subject to fulfillment of the following Electrical Engineering Background Requirements. Students must include in their Plan of Study a sequence of three 6000- (or 7000-) level courses in at least one of the following areas of specialization: Digital Communications and Signal Processing, Control Systems, and Communication Networks. Electrical Engineering Background Requirements; Advanced Mathematics (i.e. Complex Variables, Laplace Transforms, Fourier Analysis, Probability) (one term), Electric Circuits (one term), Electronic Circuits (two terms), Signals and Systems (one term), Digital Logic (one term), Technical Design Elective (e.g., Communications Systems, Control Systems Engineering, Computer Networks) (one term)
