    About Electrical Engineering MS - Professional

    This is a named option in theElectrical Engineering M.S.

    The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department (ECE) offers the Electrical Engineering M.S.-Professional named option program for students looking for an advanced entry into industrial electrical engineering.

    It is designed to deepen the students technical knowledge and sharpen their professional skills for a well-prepared entry into industry. The program provides a practical focus through a course-only curriculum, an accelerated and predictable 16-month completion time, and a professional development component.Well-prepared students and UWMadison undergraduates may find it feasible to complete the program in 12 months.

    The student, in consultation with an academic advisor, will choose courses that align well academically and targettheircareer interests. When applying for the ECE M.S.-Professional program, students are required to choose an area of emphasis: Computer Engineering, Electromagnetic Fields and Waves, Solid State and Photonics, Energy and Power Systems, or a specified curriculum path of their own design.The coursework is customized based on the students technical interests and is taught by faculty conducting cutting-edge research in their respective fields. The goal of the students studies is to expand their knowledge in new technologies, design methods, and analysis techniques. The combined focus on technical skills and professional development will prepare graduates to assume leadership positions in industry.

    The focus of the Professional program differs from the traditional research-based M.S. program. M.S.-Professional students do not conduct independent research and prepare a thesis, but rather have an accelerated course plan in a specialty area with a professional development component, either via an internship/co-op, an independent project, or through courses from Engineering Professional Development.Overall, the M.S.-Professional program requires 30 credit hours, including the professional development component. If you are interested in research and advanced concept development, you are better served pursuing a research-based M.S. program or a Ph.D. program. If you want to complete your degree in 1216 months and enter the workforce, then the M.S.-Professional program is right for you.

    M.S.-Professional students cannot be simultaneously enrolled in another graduate program at UWMadison while completing this program.

    After completing the program, students will earn a diploma stating Master of Science in Electrical Engineering,” and the transcript will include the indication "Named Option: Professional."
