Power Your Future with a Master’s in Electrical Engineering

Though the world is well into the digital revolution, we are on the frontier of technologies that will allow people
to use their thoughts to power assistive devices, "see" with advanced artificial vision sensors, create tools to
monitor and protect the nation's power grid and up-level next-generation industrial automation. It's all
happening on Wyoming's beautiful high plains.

And we want you to be a part of it.

Electrical Engineering Master's Degree Program Highlights

The UW master's program in electrical engineering provides a supportive atmosphere wherein you will acquire the knowledge, engineering skills and research acumen to pursue the next phase of your career. Here are some other reasons to consider UW's M.S. program in electrical engineering.

Thesis/Non-Thesis Options

Elect to do a research-based thesis and thesis poster (Plan A), take additional classes and complete an electrical engineering project (Plan B) or engage in coursework only (Plan B).

 

Electrical Engineering Faculty

Work with world-class electrical engineering faculty who are working on research and technology that will alter the way we live and work in areas such as health care, energy, the environment and more.

 

Assistantships

Most UW electrical engineering graduate students subsidize their degree programs working as research or teaching assistants.

Facilities

Take advantage of UW's outstanding research facilities. The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science has 10 laboratories that include circuits, electronics, digital design and microprocessor labs, among others.

 

I worked with some of the best professors in the trade and learned a lot of basics of electrical engineering from them. It's what got me my first break. If it wasn't for (my education at) Wyoming, I would not be doing the kind of work I do today.
