Overview

The M.S. in Computer Engineering program brings students to the leading edge of computer engineering by solving real-life problems which then contributes to the advancement of local communities and of society as a whole. This program is designed to prepare students for career advancement, or for further studies at the doctoral level. It has two options, thesis and professional (non-thesis). It is a research-based program of study, requiring students to complete independent research that culminates in several projects, and, in one of the options, with a thesis project.

Unique to our program is the focus on optimization and stochastic models, taught by experienced faculty who have extensive expertise in convex optimization for design of VSLI circuits, application of semi-Markov models for optimization of wireless networks, and queueing theory for tele-traffic analysis.
