Sample Programs (Technical Courses)
The graduation requirements for M.Eng. students in EECS include taking four courses from the list below (two each in fall and spring). For guidance, the courses are organized by area. You may and are encouraged to take courses outside your core area, with your faculty adviser's approval. Evaluate carefully the prerequisites for the courses you are planning to take and discuss any questions with your advisor or the instructor of the course. Most course websites contain detailed information about the content, textbooks and other background material, past exams and assignments, and course requirements.
You may also take courses that are not on this list but note that undergraduate or courses outside EECS do not meet M.Eng. graduation requirements, some courses may be oversubscribed, and others are reserved for doctoral research. Carefully evaluate the prerequisites of courses you are planning to take and discuss possible concerns with your faculty adviser or the instructor of the course.
