Graduate Degree Programs
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers a program of graduate study and research for master’s and doctoral degree students whose career choice is oriented toward basic or applied research in industry, government, or academic institutions. Degrees awarded are the Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Course work and faculty/student research in the graduate Electrical and Computer Engineering program are concentrated in the following four areas:
- Computer Engineering
- Optical and Electronic Devices
- Electric Power Engineering
- Signal Processing and Systems
and include research in computer architecture, reconfigurable and high-performance computing, computer-aided design (CAD), very-large-scale integrated (VLSI) design, optical interfacing, embedded systems, parallel processing architectures, networking, photonic and electronic devices, plasmonics, quantum photonic devices, micro/nanorobotics and systems, fiber optics, ultrafast laser processing, 2D/low-dimensional materials and devices, semiconductor device modeling and characterization, power electronics, pattern recognition, biomedical image processing, speech processing, statistical signal processing, wavelets, intelligent and neutral control, human-centered control, networked control, radio-frequency identification (RFID) and tags, electric power systems analysis, simulation and modeling: transmission, distribution systems and technologies, real-time control of power systems, renewable energy interconnections, and smart grid.
Graduate Admissions
https://www.engineering.pitt.edu/ece
Applicants for admission must submit transcripts of all college-level work and two letters of recommendation. GRE scores are not required for applications and admissions, but may be optionally submitted by students who want them included as part of their application package. International applicants whose first language is not English must demonstrate English language proficiency by submitting IELTS, TOEFL or Duolingo test scores. More on Graduate Admissions can be found here.
Financial Aid
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers graduate students support in a variety of ways. Many full-time students are supported by graduate research assistantships or teaching assistantships. There are also several fellowships available for highly qualified graduate students.
