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