Overview

The MIT Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) department offers an in-depth education in principles built on mathematics, computation, and the physical sciences. Researchers make breakthroughs in a variety of topics, including product design, data science, robotics, and hardware design.

LGO students work with EECS faculty to develop their own curriculum that pairs with their MBA coursework and plays to the student’s strengths and academic interests.

Careers

The Electrical Engineering and Computer Science program of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) prepares students for a range of roles in many industries. Recent graduates from LGO EECS work in electronics, software, e-commerce, and web services. Some students go into biotech, research institutes, or consulting. Many work in strategic management, operations management, or project management roles directly after the program.

General requirements

A strong academic background in science or engineering with significant knowledge of electrical engineering or computer science. Previous LGO EECS students have enrolled with degrees in computer science, physics, applied mathematics, biomedical engineering, and electrical engineering. In rare cases, students have a background in another engineering discipline with research and work experience in an EECS field.

Defined research interests in line with EECS’s department research areas.

Applicants should have a stated interest in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Previous work experience in an industrial setting is ideal. Former students came from systems engineering and design engineering roles within firms in the aerospace, IT, electronics, and software industries.
