The ME program (ME) degree with two options: A non-thesis and a thesis option. The ME degree develops future engineering professionals who drive innovations, conduct research, and advance technology for a successful career in industry and academia.
- ECE Thesis Program
- ECE Non-Thesis Program
All programs must satisfy either the thesis program requirements or the non-thesis program requirements. The program is indicated on the student's transcript. Accepted students normally are eligible for Graduate Fellowship and Assistantship Program (GFAP) and Graduate Research Assistant (GRA). Refer to the General University Academic Information section.
Requirements
All relevant requirements and regulations of the university and the Maroun Semaan Faculty of Engineering and Architecture for the master's degree apply to the ME in ECE programs. In order to be eligible for admission, a student must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited university.
Students whose undergraduate degree is in an area other than engineering and students whose undergraduate degree is a three-year degree are considered prospective graduate students. The supplementary courses must be completed within four consecutive regular terms.
Master's Thesis Program Requirements (30 cr.)
- 24 course credit hours of which
- a minimum of 21 credits of graduate level courses
- a minimum of 18 credits of ECE courses
- a minimum of 9 credits of graduate level in the major area
- 6 credits for master's thesis
- The seminar course (should be registered for a minimum of 2 terms)
- Students have to declare their major area by the end of the registration period of their last term.
Note: A student may declare a minor area after registering for at least two courses in the area.
Master's Non-Thesis Program Requirements (33 cr.)
- 33 credit hours in graduate courses
- a minimum of 24 credits of ECE courses
- a minimum of 12 graduate credits in the major area
- The seminar course (should be registered minimum 2 terms)
- Students have to declare their major area by the end of the registration period of their last semester.
