Electronics and Communications Engineering (M.Eng.) with an Optional Concentration in Management of Technology

The Master of Engineering Degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering prepares students for higher-level professional practice in local and international markets, whether in private consulting practice, industry, or government activities. It is intended for electronics engineers who wish to master the practice in their field of specialty.

The optional concentration in management of technology is intended for electronics and communications engineers who wish to master the practice in their field of specialty, as well as understand the notion of technology and innovation as key to wealth creation, competitiveness and sustainable economic and social development.

Program Objectives

The objectives of the Master of Engineering Degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering are to enable graduates to:

Drive innovation and effectively address complex challenges within their careers.
Excel in their careers in specialized fields such as VLSI and nanosystems, communication systems, microwave and RF systems, or digital and network systems.
Commit to lifelong learning by staying current with emerging technologies and trends in engineering, ensuring continued professional development and advancement in their careers.

In addition to the above objectives, the Master of Engineering Degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering with a Concentration in Management of Technology has the following extra objective, which is to enable graduates to:

Manage and guide technology-based organizations in a changing environment and integrate technology and business strategies.

Admission

A candidate for the master’s program in Electronics and Communications Engineering must have a degree in engineering. Students who have some deficiency in their undergraduate training but are well-qualified in other respects may be admitted provisionally. The Electronics and Communications Engineering Department may prescribe a program of noncredit work to make up for the deficiency.

Courses (33 Credit hours)

A minimum of 11 courses is required. The courses are selected from the following categories.

Core Courses (3 credit hours)

All students select one out of the following four ENGR core courses:

Concentration Elective Courses (30 credit hours)

For the Master of Engineering Degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering, candidates must select at least eight courses from group A.

The remaining courses can be taken from group A or the options below:

- Up to two PhD ECNG courses (6000-level) to be taken for credit are allowed.

- Subject to the approval of the graduate director, the candidate is permitted to take six credit hours from the following two options:

1. One 4000-level or graduate-level course (3 credit hours) from outside the department and within the School of Sciences and Engineering;

2. Graduate Independent Study course (ECNG 5910 ) (1 to 3 credit hours).

However, the student may take a maximum of 3 hours of independent study and a maximum of one course (3 credit hours) from outside the ECNG department.

For the Master of Engineering Degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering with a Concentration in Management of Technology: 9 credits must be taken from group B, and the remaining courses must be taken from group A.
