ECE Graduate Programs

Stevens Institute of Technology offers Masters Degrees, Doctoral Degrees and Graduate Certificates.

Our faculty hold many distinctions, including membership with the National Academy of Engineering, four IEEE Fellows, award-winning researchers, multiple patent holders, and editors of prestigious journals.

The department’s proximity to New York provides myriad opportunities for both partnerships and collaborations on new business ventures, and our academic programs are built to give students the background required to be the next generation of industry leaders.

Master's of Engineering

Master's of Engineering degrees are offered in Electrical Engineering, in Computer Engineering, and in Networked Information Systems. In each program, students complete three core courses and an additional seven elective courses. Three of the elective courses must be selected according to an area of concentration within the student's program. Typically, three full semesters are required to complete the degree.

Doctorate

The Doctorate degree is provided in both Electrical and in Computer Engineering.

Research areas include:

• Networked systems security
• Multimedia technologies and systems
• Wireless transceivers, image compression
• Mobile networks including ad-hoc networks
• Efficient and reliable transmission of media-rich information over noisy channels
• Signal detection and estimation
• Image processing
• Network performance analysis
• Modeling of microwave structures

Students can also pursue multidisciplinary degree programs, taking advantage of the faculty and facilities in cooperating departments to complete their academic studies and research

Other Graduate Programs

Graduate Certificates

The Department offers several graduate certificates, requiring completion of four specified courses from the regular graduate program selected by the Department for the topic.

Criteria for admission into a Graduate Certificate program are identical to those for admission into the Master's degree program.

Most of the Graduate Certificates are also offered as on-line programs through the Stevens' WebCampus program.

Five Graduate Certificates are currently offered, and one Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Certificate is in development.

• Wireless Communications
• Networked Information Systems
• Multimedia Technology
• Secure Network Systems Design
• Microelectronics & Photonics (offered jointly with the Physics and Materials Engineering Departments)
• Digital Signal Processing (in development)

Degrees of Electrical Engineer and of Computer Engineer

The degrees of Electrical Engineer and Computer Engineer serve those students interested in continuing past the master's degree but not wishing to proceed all the way to a doctorate degree. A total of 30 credits of coursework beyond the master's degree is required. In addition, a significant student project must be completed.
