Two post-graduate degree
programs are offered by the
Electrical and Computer
Engineering Department at
Rose-Hulman Institute of
Technology: the Master of
Science in Electrical
Engineering (MSEE) degree, that
requires a thesis and a
publication, and the Master of
Electrical and Computer
Engineering (MECE) degree, that
does not require a thesis or a
publication, but instead
requires 12 credit hours of
additional course work. Both
degree programs combine
mathematics, physics,
engineering, and computer
science to meet the demands of
the highly volatile field of
electrical and computer
engineering. A student’s plan
of study is arranged on an
individualized basis through
joint agreement between the
student, the student’s advisory
committee chairperson, and the
student’s advisory committee.
The student’s advisory committee
must consist of at least (1) an
RHIT ECE faculty member serving
as the major advisor (in the
case of the MSEE degree, this
person guides the student’s
thesis research), (2) a second
RHIT ECE faculty member, and (3)
an RHIT faculty member from
outside of the ECE department.
Both degree programs seek to
build upon the basic foundations
established by the student’s
undergraduate course of study.
The student’s plan of study may
reflect a desire to concentrate
on a specialized interest or a
desire for a better
understanding of the broad
underlying theories of the
entire profession.
Special areas of interest
within the Electrical and
Computer Engineering Department
include Communications, Computer
Architecture and Microcomputers,
Control Systems,
Electromagnetics, Electronics,
Power Systems, and Signal and
Image Processing.
Master of Science in
Electrical Engineering
Requirements (51 credit
hours):
36 credit hours of course
work as approved by
student’s advisory
committee.
- At least 24 credit
hours must be upper
level ECE courses
(ECE4xx or ECE5xx)
- At least 24 credit
hours must be at the 5xx
level (excluding GS501,
GS502, and GS503
graduate seminar
courses). Thus no more
than 12 credit hours of
400-level classes can
count toward the MSEE
degree.
- 12 credit hours of
thesis work (the
Institute’s non-thesis
option is not permitted
for the MSEE degree).
- 3 credit hours of
graduate seminar.
Successful defense of
thesis.
Acceptance of a technical
article for publication
and/or for conference
presentation with the major
professor included as a
named author.
Master of Electrical and
Computer Engineering Degree
Requirements (52
credit hours):
52 credit hours of course
work as approved by
student’s advisory
committee.
- At least 32 credit
hours must be upper
level ECE courses
(ECE4xx or ECE5xx).
- At least 40 credit
hours must be at the 5xx
level from any
department agreed upon
by the student’s
advisory committee.
Thus no more than 12
credit hours of
400-level classes can
count toward the MECE
degree.
