The Department of Electrical Engineering offers the Master of Engineering, Master of Science, Engineer, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The Department offers graduate study and research in computer engineering, digital signal processing, communications, electronic circuits, device and physical electronics, electric energy systems, electromagnetics, systems and controls, and photonics. Graduate students in the Department of Electrical Engineering have bachelor's degrees from many areas- electrical engineering, other engineering disciplines, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and other technical fields. The Department of Electrical Engineering offers both thesis and nonthesis options for the master's degree. In the thesis option a student shall complete a minimum of 33 semester credit hours with a maximum'of 6 semester credit hours of EEL 6971 (Research for Master's Thesis). While the Graduate School sets the minimum require- ments, the supervisory committee determines the appro- priate number of thesis hours a student shall be required to take for the thesis. Other course requirements include a minimum of 12 hours of 6000-level course credit in all fields and a minimum of 18 hours at the 5000 or 6000 level in electrical engineering. Excluded from satisfying these course requirements are 5905 and 6905 (Individual Work), 6910 (Supervised Research), 6932 (Graduate Seminar), 6940 (Supervised Teaching), and 6971 (Re- search for Master's Thesis). No more than six hours of Individual Work (5905 or 6905) may be counted toward the degree. Students who accept research assistantships will normally take the thesis option. In the nonthesis option a student shall complete a minimum of 33 semester credit hours with a maximum of 4 semester credit hours of Individual Work (5905 or 6905). The course requirements include a minimum of 24 semester credit hours of 6000-level course credit in all fields and a minimum of 18 semester credit hours at the 5000 or 6000 level in electrical engineering. Excluded from satisfying these course requirements are 5905 and 6905 .(Individual Work), 6910 (Supervised Research), 6932 (Graduate Seminar), 6940 (Supervised Teaching) and 6971 (Research for Master's Thesis). All prospective doctoral students must take the Ph.D entrance examination within the first 15 months. The examination, which may include both written and oral portions, can be administered at any time during the year. Other requirements for the doctoral degree, as well as requirements for master's degrees, are given in the Electri- cal Engineering Department's Graduate Guidelines and in the front section of this Catalog..
