MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INTERNET ENGINEERING

 

Offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)

                       

Graduate Advisors:       Prof. Roberto Rojas-Cessa, (973) 596-3508, e-mail: Roberto.Rojas-Cessa@njit.edu

 

The objective of this program is to educate students in the field of internet engineering, with emphasis on computer internetworking and relevant applications.

 

Admission Requirements

 

Applicants should have an undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or other relevant discipline from an accredited institution (or its equivalent). All applicants must submit scores on the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) verbal, quantitative, and analytical aptitude tests. Applicants with undergraduate degrees in computer science, computer engineering or electrical engineering from an accredited institution are expected to have a GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. These students should have taken Math 333 (Probability and Statistics), or EE321 (Random Signal and Noise), or another equivalent course; EE333 (Signals and Systems); and CS 112 (Introduction to Computing or equivalent proficiency in C++ programming).

Bridge Program – The curriculum requires a basic knowledge of computer and communications fundamentals, such as signals and systems (EE 333), basic communication systems (EE 481), programming (CS  112 or C++ programming), data structures and algorithms (CS 505), and computer organization (CoE 251). The bridge courses are usually selected from this list, but some additional bridge courses, appropriate to each student's background, may be required.

 

 

Degree Requirements

 

Candidates must complete a minimum of 30 credits, 9 in core courses and 21 in elective courses.

The required courses provide the basics of Internet Engineering. Electives are to be chosen from the available course pool to tailor the program to the student’s professional needs and interests. This program utilizes graduate courses in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer and Information Science, Management Information Systems, and Management Programs at NJIT. They provide the necessary blend of education required for appropriate strength in Internet Engineering.

 

All master’s students must register for two semesters of ECE 791 Graduate Seminar.  Those with substantial professional experience may have this requirement waived.  In order to receive passing credit, the student must attend at least five (5) seminars per semester, to be chosen from those sponsored by the areas, the ECE department, the Institute, or other outside seminars approved by the Seminar Supervisor.  Please watch the bulletin board labeled ECE 791 Graduate Seminar, located in the hall leading to the ECE main office, for information on approved seminars.
