Overview

Thesis option The Master of Science (MSEE) degree is a research-oriented degree and requires the completion of a thesis that describes the results of research conducted under the guidance of a faculty advisor. This is a good option for students who have not decided if they want to pursue an research and development career or are not set on their exact area of study. As such, it is very important that students select an advisor as soon as possible, ideally prior to beginning the program. Non-thesis option The Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) non-thesis master’s program provides advanced instruction emphasizing engineering practice, making it well suited for practicing engineers who want to grow their knowledge and skillset but aren’t necessarily pursing a career in research and development. In fact, the program can be counted as one year’s experience towards registration as a Professional Engineer. The program focuses on electrical engineering design, systems operation, manufacturing, and management. Students may specialize in one of four areas of strength in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. These areas are: Control and Power Systems, Electromagnetics and Microelectronics, Electronics and Computers, and Signals and Communications. Under the guidance of a faculty member, students may complete the the program with a capstone project focusing on a practical engineering problem. In addition, students can select electives outside the electrical and computer engineering department. Options include courses in other Cullen College departments, the College of Business Administration, and the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. This flexibility allows students to design a degree program that best matches their goals for the future.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
