• Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering (M.S.E.E.)

Minors

• Computer Engineering Minor
• Electrical Engineering Minor
• Energy Engineering Minor

Our programs are designed to equip our students with the necessary knowledge, skills and experience to contribute to the wide variety of electrical engineering industry, their profession and society as a whole.

Student Success

Our outstanding Faculty is passionate about student success. Our faculty members are not only innovative teachers, they also work with students one-on-one to ensure their success.

We have an open-door culture in the department, and students can approach any faculty member to discuss homework assignments, research opportunities or career paths.

Our faculty members involve our students in their research as well as various outreach programs and/or extracurricular activities including student clubs.

Our students have no problems in finding jobs and many secure jobs before graduation with handsome salary packages. UMD's most recent graduate follow-up report for electrical engineering shows a 92% placement rate for our graduates with 89% employed and 3% continuing education. Among the employed the salary ranges from $54,000 to $116,480 with median salary of $73,500. See this detailed report on recent graduates.

Community and Industrial Connections

We have an Industrial Advisory Board that keeps us on track to prepare our students for the continuing evolving nature of the electrical and computer engineering fields.

We also participate in outreach efforts like after-school programs to mentor youth and inspire STEM learning. We welcome high school student groups and offer engaging demonstrations to nurture their interests in the fields of electrical and computer engineering. We participate both on campus and off campus events.
