Capstone projects for students in the professional master’s in electrical and computer engineering (MECE) program. In order to obtain the MECE degree, students must complete two semesters of this course. This course serves as graded academic credit for capstone projects, which have the goal of producing a completed product, algorithm, design, or similar entity. Capstone projects aim to have students develop practical and technical skills in the area that they are interested in for employment after the MECE program. Projects will be overseen by the instructor usually along with academic and/or industrial collaborators. Typically, students will take this course during both the second and third semesters of the MECE program after having completed a foundations course in the first semester. Repeatable for Credit.

This course is restricted to students in the master's of electrical and computer engineering (MECE) program. This course introduces current theoretical and applied problems encountered in ECE practice through practical internships. Students will be required to complete a paid or unpaid off-campus internship. MECE students will be required to submit a written, 10-15 page report/document summarizing the ECE experience developed during the internship, as well documenting how the internship was instrumental to the MECE course of study. Repeatable for Credit.

The Professional Masters Seminar Series presents a combination of seminars on emerging research topics in the many areas of ECE and industry-focused professional development. This course includes attendance and reports based on the seminars, colloquia, and distinguished lectures held each semester. Repeatable for Credit.
