The Department offers M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a concentration in Electrical Engineering, Computer Networks and Distributed Computing, Computer Graphics and Visualization, or Computer Systems and Software. The Electrical Engineering concentration includes optics and electronic devices and circuits, communications, signal processing, machine vision, power electronics, and systems engineering. The Computer Networks and Distributed Computing concentration covers design and evaluation of computer networks and distributed computer systems, and their integration into a comprehensive computing system. The Computer Graphics and Visualization Concentration provides students with a solid base in the design, development and evaluation of scientific and information visualization systems.The Computer Systems and Software concentration covers all aspects of computer systems design, from digital VLSI to system software.

Because most graduate courses are not repeated every quarter, students should make every effort to begin their graduate program in the fall.
