Electrical and Computer Engineering, MS

The Master of Science degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Sonoma State University is a graduate program focused on the interconnection between electrical engineering hardware and computer science software. The 32-unit curriculum blends relevant academic coursework with practical engineering experience, thereby addressing the evolving demands upon engineering in our progressively technology-driven world.

The Master of Science degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering program emphasizes the application of Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering fields to the design, analysis and synthesis of engineering problem solutions, exposes the student to management training and provides practical real-world experience through internships and graduate seminars. The Electrical and Computer Engineering faculty is composed of professors from Sonoma State University, whose interests traverse the fields of science and engineering, as well as professionals from the local community who have cutting-edge expertise in the various engineering disciplines of interest and are qualified to be adjunct faculty at SSU. A linkage with local industry in the form of an Industry Advisory Board (IAB) is an integral part of the program. Such an advisory board is critical to ensure the Program meets local community needs. The IAB provides the program with valuable input regarding the new scientific and technological developments and educational needs of the industry. It also facilitates internship opportunities for students, joint student research/project development and supervision, faculty-scientists/engineers joint project opportunities, equipment and financial support from the industries. Through this linkage of academic learning and practical application, students obtain a solid education indispensable for working in a professional environment.
