Tool Subject
One course, Engineering Analysis (EE 5371), is required for all students and serves as a "tool subject". The course covers important mathematical methods in electrical engineering.
Degree Plan
Master's students must complete the form entitled "Program for the Master's Degree and Admission to Candidacy" (Degree Plan)*. This is typically done in a student's second semester. The form lists all of the courses that a student plans to take for the master's degree together with his or her thesis title and committee members names, if the Thesis Option is chosen. It is prepared by the student based on his or her special interests with the advice of the ECE Department Graduate Advisor and the student's thesis advisor. In some cases up to six credit hours of graduate coursework with a grade of B or better can be transferred from another school. The form must be signed by the ECE Department Graduate Advisor and by the Graduate Advisor of the minor department, if any. The student is expected to follow the form in subsequent course enrollments and thesis work; if a course substitution or thesis change becomes necessary, the form can be amended.
* Copies of the Degree Plan form are available in the ECE Department main office.
