Telecommunications and Networking Option
|
|
The field of telecommunications and networking is one of great importance to our society. As a technical discipline, it draws from the more traditional fields of computer science and electrical engineering. Although the Engineering and Applied Science Programs for Professionals do not offer a separate master’s degree in telecommunications and networking, students may pursue an option in this area as degree candidates in either computer science or electrical and computer engineering. The wide variety of courses from both areas allows students, working with advisers, to structure programs that meet their professional development needs. |
Admission Requirements
Applicants must meet the general requirements for admission to graduate programs outlined in this catalog in the general Admission Requirements section. In addition, applicants must meet the specific program requirements for either computer science or electrical and computer engineering (see those programs for specific admission information). Course Requirements
Each degree candidate is assigned an adviser. Attainment of the degree requires completion of 10 one-term courses specifically approved by the adviser. Seven of the 10 courses must be in the telecommunications and networking subject area as defined by the course lists below. No more than one course with a grade of C, and no course with a grade lower than C, may be counted toward the degree. The requirements for computer science degree candidates and those for electrical and computer engineering candidates can be found in the program descriptions in the respective sections of the catalog. Students who select the telecommunications and networking option through the computer science program may take a maximum of three telecommunications and networking courses from electrical and computer engineering courses listed below. Electrical and computer engineering students who select the telecommunications and networking option are required to take either two or three computer science telecommunications and networking courses as electives. All of these electives must be selected from the computer science courses listed below. Electrical and Computer Engineering
Applied and Computational Mathematics
(Undergraduate transition course for students who lack electrical and computer engineering course prerequisites. This course does not count towards the graduate degree.) |
