Specific Requirements for the Degree
Completion of 30 units of 500-, 600-, or 700-level courses to include COMPE 560 or E E 602 or E E 603 or COMPE 510 or COMPE 571 or COMPE 572 (depending on depth area selected, as directed by the graduate adviser) and one of two options: Plan A (Thesis) or Plan B (Project). Students cannot use more than 15 units of 500-level courses. Students are required to plan their program of study and have it approved by the graduate adviser to satisfy the depth and breadth course requirements.
Depth and Breadth Requirements
Students are required to select their depth area and complete a specific set of approved courses from that area. The depth areas include but are not limited to Computer Networks, Embedded operating systems, Machine Learning and Scientific Computing VLSI Circuit Design. Students are also required to complete a specific number of approved courses from specialization areas other than the declared depth area. Credit cannot be given for E E 798 for students in Plan A. Please consult with your advisor for additional information on course recommendations. The following courses have been approved:
E E 502 , E E 503 , E E 522 , E E 530 , E E 540 , E E 558 , E E 581 , E E 584 , E E 586 , E E 601 , E E 602 , E E 603 , E E 634 , E E 641 , E E 645 , E E 650 , E E 652 , E E 653 , E E 654 , E E 655 , E E 657 , E E 658 , E E 660 , E E 662 , E E 665 , E E 670 , E E 671 , E E 674 , E E 684 , E E 685 , E E 740 , COMPE 560 , COMPE 561 , COMPE 565 , COMPE 570 , COMPE 571 and COMPE 572 .
Culminating Experience
Students are required to choose from Plan A (Thesis) or Plan B (Project) options.
Requirements for Plan A (Thesis)
Students are required to take
Requirements for Plan B (Project)
Students may enroll in the project course, E E 798, after completion of 18 units, but must do so in the semester immediately following completion of 27 units. The evaluation process of the project will be determined by the department and enforced by the graduate advisor.
