Computer Engineering has been the primary driver of the development of the digital systems that now play major roles in all aspects of our personal lives and businesses. Computer engineering integrates principles and practices from electrical engineering, computer science, and other engineering/science fields to create complex systems combining hardware, software, and sophisticated algorithms. Applications include such diverse areas as video games, visual environments, networked system environments, computer-aided design tools, advanced computation systems, medical information systems, autonomous systems, design of complex digital systems including VLSI systems, development of bio-inspired algorithms for advanced systems, and many others. The Masters in Computer Engineering provides you with the foundation knowledge to participate in these exciting fields along with areas of specialization to provide depth in major computer engineering themes.

A Master's degree from Stevens' Charles V. Schaefer School of Engineering available online. Co-sponsored by AACEI, ACM, AIChE, ASCE, IEEE, NECA, NSPE, and SNAME.

To earn your Master’s in Computer Engineering, you must complete a total of 30 hours of credit. You must complete three of the five listed core courses and must three courses satisfying requirements for one of the Computer Engineering concentrations. Elective courses are to be chosen from among the NIS, CpE and EE numbered graduate courses in this catalog. Under special circumstances, an elective course not in the CpE, EE or NIS numbered courses may be taken, with the approval of your academic advisor. A maximum of two elective courses not listed in the ECE program may be used for the Masters degree with approval of your academic advisor.

Although it was extremely challenging, the personal reward and satisfaction by successfully completing such a rigorous program gives a true sense of professional accomplishment."
