School of Engineering
Areas of Study
A student may pursue the MSE in any one of the following areas of study, which we refer to as emphasis areas:- Electrical and Computer Engineering
o Communications, Signal Processing and Control Systems
o Electrical Energy Systems
o Digital and Computer Systems - Manufacturing Operations
- Mechanical Engineering
- Product Design and Manufacturing Engineering
Students are expected to have the prerequisite knowledge required for each course they wish to take. In general, this requires an undergraduate degree in an engineering or science field. However, students who pursue the manufacturing operations emphasis come from a wide variety of educational backgrounds.
Students without all necessary prerequisite knowledge are required to obtain this knowledge by taking undergraduate courses that do not apply toward the MSE degree.
