Electrical and Computer Engineering383Degree RequirementsMaster of science degree requirements. The department offers M.S. degrees witha thesis (Plan I) and a nonthesis (Plan II) option. However, it strongly encourages thatstudents follow Plan I and allows the use of Plan II only in special cases. Plan I requires32 credit hours with at least 24 at the graduate level (i.e., at the 500 or 600 level). Thesecredit hours must include at least 12 hours in a major electrical engineering fi eld, 6 hoursin mathematics, 6 hours in an approved elective area, 2 hours of seminar, and 6 hours ofthesis research. Majoring in some areas of specialization may require specifi c coursesin that area. The student must pass a fi nal ex am i na tion, which typically is a presentationand defense of the thesis. In addition, the student must satisfy all the University andCollege of Engineering re quire ments defi ned elsewhere in this catalog.Doctor of philosophy degree requirements. In the electrical and computer en gi neer ingdepartment, the Ph.D. degree requires a minimum of 48 credit hours of coursework. Thismust include 24 credit hours of closely related coursework in the major area with at least18 at the 500- or 600-level. In addition, each student's program must include 12 hours ina minor fi eld of electrical engineering or other approved area, 12 hours in mathematics,2 hours of seminar at the 600 level, and 24 hours of dissertation research. All candidatesmust pass a qualifying examination, usually administered after the student completesmost of his or her coursework, and a fi nal examination, which generally is a presentationand defense of the dissertation. In addition, the student must satisfy all the Universityand College of Engineering requirements defi ned elsewhere in this catalog.Course DescriptionsWith permission, master’s students may earn graduate credit for six hours of 400-levelcredit.ECE 406 Computer Communications and Networks.
