Overview

Learning outcomes

The Electrical Engineering program at State University of New York at New Paltz can be completed either full or part-time, and is designed to serve recent graduates and practicing engineers who need in-depth knowledge in the rapidly changing and expanding areas of electrical engineering beyond what can be included in the traditional bachelor’s program.

Students may individualize their program of study by selecting classes that fulfill their academic interests and professional needs. Focused coursework is offered in Microelectronics, Systems, Energy, or Computer Engineering. The program may be completed in as little as eight months.*

Accelerated Format*

Students complete 30 credits of coursework and present at least three graduate engineering projects.

Research Focus

Students enroll in twenty-four credits of coursework and develop and defend a six-credit thesis project.

Programme Structure

Plan of Study:

A student's plan of study is developed by selecting graduate engineering courses offered by the department in electromagnetic fields and waves, telecommunications, electronics, computers, and control systems depending on the students’ needs and interests.

The program does not require specialization in a concentration and the student under guidance of a graduate advisor may select courses of interest that will prepare him/her to pursue thesis or future work.
Appropriate courses (maximum two graduate courses) offered by cognate departments may be used to meet this requirement.
