Descriptions of graduate courses can be found in the following web site: eeweb.poly.edu/gcourses/courses.html. B average is required in all graduate courses taken at Polytechnic except those used for the undergraduate degree. No more than 9 of 36 credits may be taken outside Polytechnic, and such credits are not used to compute this grade point average. B average is also required in the courses taken to satisfy core and sequence courses. These courses must all be taken at Polytechnic University. If some of these courses are excused because they were taken as part of an undergraduate program or were awarded transfer credits, substitute courses approved by the adviser will be used in calculating this average. In any case, a total of 36 credits are required for the degree. Deviations from these course requirements must be certified by a letter of approval from the ECE Graduate Committee. (See items in section IV of this graduate manual regarding grading standards, thesis, transfer credits, etc.).
The usual entrance requirement for an MS in Electrical Engineering is a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited institution with at least a B average in undergraduate technical courses. Students not meeting entrance requirements will be considered on an individual basis, and may be admitted subject to the completion of appropriate courses to remove deficiencies in preparation.
Three courses from among the following core courses:
Two one-year sequences in EL or CS courses which may include the above courses. At least one EL sequence.
APPROVED TWO-COURSE SEQUENCES:Other sequences require special approval of the Graduate Adviser. Overlapping sequences do not count for two sequences.
At least 24 of the 36 credits must be in EL courses. (CS5XX level courses are generally
excluded and CS9XX approved only upon application). See the Recommended Out-Of-Department
Electives for MSEE below for acceptable out-of-department courses. A student whose Bachelor's
degree is not in Electrical Engineering may be required to include other specific graduate
courses and/or undergraduate deficiencies in his MS (EE) program.
Total: 36 units
Up to a maximum of four (4) courses in Science, Mathematics or Engineering may be accepted for credit towards an MS Degree in EE. The following courses will be accepted. Other courses outside the Department require a letter of approval from the ECE Graduate Committee. This letter should be retained as proof of such approval.
This option allows a concentration in courses relating to digital image and video processing while fulfilling the requirements for the MS in ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
The core courses for the MS in EE are satisfied by EL630, EL625 and EL611.
The two required two-semester sequences are satisfied by EL512/ EL612 and EL611/ EL713.
The list of approved electives for the Image Processing Option is the same as that for the MSEE degree. At least two of the electives must be EL courses. The recommended electives are:
Students who complete the Image Processing Option will also satisfy the requirement
for a Graduate Certificate in Image Processing (see page 14 and 15).

Candidates are expected to have knowledge of logic circuits design, state analysis and synthesis techniques, computer architecture, data structures and algorithms, and C or C++ programming. Students not meeting entrance requirements will be considered on an individual basis, and may be admitted subject to the completion of appropriate courses to remove deficiencies in preparation.
To satisfy the requirements for the MS in Computer Engineering degree, a student must complete a total of 36 credits as described below. Of these at least 21 credits should be Electrical Engineering credits and 9 credits should be Computer Science credits. (Note: Formal course numbers have not been assigned to proposed future courses).
Two one-year sequences chosen from:
Electives are courses chosen with adviser approval from graduate offerings in EL, CS, and occasionally pertinent courses from other departments. With adviser approval, other groups or individual courses may be selected, provided they relate to the various facets of computer engineering. In addition to the courses listed below, electives can also be chosen from courses listed in two one-year sequences above.
Students are required to take a project that is related to Computer Engineering discipline and is approved by advisers.
Total: 36 credits
Thesis Option:A 9-unit thesis may be selected and used to replace EL 995 or CS 996 (a) either a one-year sequence or two electives, and (b) 3 credits project.
The entrance requirement for the MS in Telecommunication Networks is an undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering from an accredited institution with at least a B average in undergraduate technical courses. The GRE is recommended. Entering students are expected to have basic knowledge of computer fundamentals such as programming in C++, data structures, and computer architecture. If not, they will have to take the preparatory courses CS 530, CS 540, and CS 580 as a condition for acceptance. These courses may not be applied to the MSTN degree. Students not meeting entrance requirements will be considered on an individual basis, and may be admitted subject to the completion of appropriate courses to remove deficiencies in preparation.
In certain circumstances, and with the approval of the program's graduate adviser, other EE or CS courses may be used to fulfill the core requirement. Permission of the graduate adviser is required for all course substitutions.
All students in the MS Telecommunication Networks program are required to take a project course, either EL 995 or CS 687. A project adviser must be obtained and a project plan approved before registering. The project should be completed in one semester. If not, it must be completed in the next semester. With the graduate adviser's approval, a student may substitute CS 687 with a traditional EE or CS Master's thesis or project, as long as it is telecommunications-related. If the thesis option is chosen, additional thesis credits will count towards the free elective courses.
Students are required to take two courses (not already counted towards the core requirement) from the following list of optional courses:
With the permission of the graduate adviser, students may be permitted to fulfill this requirement using other courses related to telecommunications.
Any two graduate elective courses from EE or CS, approved by the graduate adviser.
