Electrical Engineering Track
Program Description
This degree track leads to a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering at UTSA. The Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering is designed to offer students opportunities in both advanced course work and research project to prepare students for leadership roles in engineering careers with industry, government, or educational institutions. The program has emphases in five concentrations: Computer Engineering, Systems and Control, Digital Signal Processing, Communications, and Electronic Materials and Devices. A thesis option is offered for students who want the opportunity to obtain expertise in research and who may be interested in pursuing a doctoral degree in electrical engineering. A non-thesis option is available for students who want a practical industrial applications-oriented degree. Our graduate programs stress both theoretical and practical aspects of Electrical and Computer Engineering by combining the teaching and research expertise of the University community with the resources of other San Antonio research institutions. The Graduate Faculty in Electrical and Computer Engineering are active in conducting cutting-edge research projects which provide both research experiences and financial supports for our graduate students. After graduation, our M.S. and Ph.D. graduates are employed as engineers or researchers in research firms and industries. Some of our former doctorate students are working in universities as faculty members.
