With innovations that progress from concept to production in a matter of months, or even weeks, electrical and computer engineering is one of the fastest growing and broadest of all technical fields. The Online MS in Electrical & Computer Engineering program combines rigorous study with practical applications aimed at solving real-world problems, from producing more efficient and reliable computing networks to using wireless systems to increase bandwidth for ever-increasing data streams.
Students learn from and work closely with expert Electrical & Computer Engineering faculty members who are known for fueling breakthroughs that impact the world, from pioneering wireless network technologies to spurring advances in green power and biomedical systems.
Depending on your professional experience and goals, you can choose to study one technical area in considerable depth or pursue a broader program spanning several electrical and computer engineering specialization areas.

Courses
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
10 courses, for a total of 30 credit hours.
You will work with a faculty advisor to develop a personal, customized and relevant plan of study that can include foundational and advanced courses in: electronics, digital design, radio and microwave engineering, analog design, power systems, and systems engineering.
Thesis option: Currently, WPI’s online graduate programs do not offer a thesis option, as theses cannot be completed online. If you wish to pursue a thesis on campus, it is the student’s responsibility to find an advisor. Please note that depending on the project’s subject and timeframe, there might not be a faculty member willing or able to advise.
