Program Information

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) offers the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Minimum requirements for these degrees are given in the Graduate Degrees section of this catalog. ECE offers graduate study and research in computer engineering, devices, electromagnetics and energy systems, electronics, and signals and systems.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers both thesis and non-thesis options for the master’s degrees offered.

In the thesis option a student shall complete a minimum of 30 semester credit hours with a maximum of 6 semester credit hours of EEL 6971 Research for Master's Thesis (1-15 cr.). While the Graduate School sets the minimum requirements, the supervisory committee determines the appropriate number of thesis hours a student shall be required to take for the thesis. Other course requirements include a minimum of 18 hours at the 5000 or 6000 level in electrical and computer engineering. Excluded from satisfying these course requirements are EEL 5905 Individual Work (1-4 cr.) and EEL 6905 Individual Work (1-4 cr.), EEL 6910 Supervised Research (1-5 cr.), EEL 6940 Supervised Teaching (1-5 cr.), and EEL 6971 Research for Master's Thesis (1-15 cr.). No more than 6 hours of Individual Work (EEL 5905 Individual Work (1-4 cr.) or EEL 6905 Individual Work (1-4 cr.)) may be counted toward the degree.

In the non-thesis option a student shall complete a minimum of 30 semester credit hours with a maximum of 6 semester credit hours of Individual Work (EEL 5905 Individual Work (1-4 cr.) or EEL 6905 Individual Work (1-4 cr.)). The course requirements include a minimum of 21 semester credit hours at the 5000 or 6000 level in electrical and computer engineering. Excluded from satisfying these course requirements are EEL 5905 Individual Work (1-4 cr.) and EEL 6905 Individual Work (1-4 cr.), EEL 6910 Supervised Research (1-5 cr.), EEL 6940 Supervised Teaching (1-5 cr.), and EEL 6971 Research for Master's Thesis (1-15 cr.).

In addition to other requirements, all prospective doctoral students must take the written part of the Ph.D. qualifying examination within the first year of enrollment. Other requirements for the doctoral degree, as well as requirements for master’s and engineer degrees, are given in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department’s Graduate Guidelines (see http://www.ece.ufl.edu/content/graduate-academics) and in the front section of this catalog.

The following course listing indicates the major areas of faculty interest. Special topics courses EEL 5934 Special Topics in Electrical Engineering (1-3 cr.) and EEL 6935 Special Topics in Electrical Engineering (1-4 cr.) cover a wide variety of subjects for which there are no present courses.
