Electrical and Computer Engineering, Master of Engineering (M.Eng.)
Non-thesis only: 30 credits
All Professional Master of Engineering Programs consist of 10 courses/30 credits. All students are expected to complete a preliminary course plan for their intended degree program. Degree planning worksheets can be found here: https://advancedengineering.umd.edu/degree-planning-sheets
The student chooses an area of concentration offered by an engineering department and completes 30 credit hours of approved coursework with an average grade of B. The coursework, which allows up to 12 credits at the 400-level, must be approved by the program's departmental faculty advisor.
Students complete six core courses and four electives. Two available focus areas include Computer Engineering (1) and Communication and Signal Processing (2).
