Electrical Engineering is a broad, constantly evolving discipline with topics that connect to physics, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and biology. Electricity is central to our lives and its role will continue to grow in the coming decades as green transportation and renewable energy rely more and more on smart electric energy. Electrical engineers also design communication networks, wireless systems, autonomous systems, computing systems, and signal and information processing systems. They invent advanced electronic and photonic devices, integrated circuits, or information processing systems. Techniques and methods developed in Electrical Engineering are at the forefront to help solve problems in biomedical engineering, bio-engineering, and neuro-engineering.Our department is among the oldest in the United States and has a storied history including being at the foundation of modern radio communications, control engineering, and multimedia coding. And, every day we are hard at work at pushing new frontiers in Electrical Engineering with innovative teaching and state-of- the-art research.We offer BS, MS and PhD/DES programs in Electrical Engineering and, jointly with the Computer Science Department, in Computer Engineering. The BS program gives students a rounded foundation in EE, with depth specializations in photonics & devices, circuits & electronics, signals & systems, and communications & networking. Our MS program is highly flexible to accommodate each student’s needs, while offering the opportunity to study the newest and most important EE topics in depth. In all areas, we stress a hands-on approach, with theory strongly motivated by practical applications. PhD students work closely with their faculty advisors on exploring the new frontiers in research to prepare them for academic or industrial research careers.We hope you find our website informative and we look forward to meeting you on our beautiful campus in the heart of New York City.
录取要求
The basic requirement for admission as a graduate student is the bachelor's degree received from an institution of acceptable standing. Ordinarily, the applicant will have majored in the field in which graduate study is intended, but in certain programs preparation in a related field of engineering or science is acceptable. The applicant will be admitted only if the undergraduate record shows promise of productive and effective graduate work.The Master of Science (MS) degree is required for admission into the PhD and EngScD degree programs. A student who holds an appropriate bachelor's degree in engineering may apply for admission to either the MS only or MS leading to PhD program.Consideration for admission will be based not only on the completion of earlier courses of study, but also upon the quality of the record presented and upon such evidence as can be obtained concerning the candidate's personal fitness to pursue professional work.Application MaterialsThe following materials must accompany the online application:Official transcript copies from every post-secondary institution attendedThree recommendation lettersOfficial Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test Scores*Personal statementResumé or Curriculum VitaeAn interview may be requested$85 non-refundable application feeInternational applicants or applicants whose undergraduate degree was received in a country in which English is not the official and widely spoken language must submit the following additional requirements with the application for admission:Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), International English Language Testing System (IELTS) or Pearson Test of English (PTE Academic). For the Fall 2020 semester we will also accept the Duolingo English Test.Translation of the official transcript(s) and degree/diploma certificate(s) if the institution(s) attended does not issue transcripts in English. The translation must be conducted by a reputable service provider.
