Degree
Programs
Within
the Electrical Engineering specialty, there are two emphasis areas:
(1) Automation, Sensing and Communication, and (2) Energy Systems
and Power Electronics. Students are encouraged to decide between
the two before pursuing an advanced degree.
Master
of Science
All students must complete EGES 504 - Engineering Systems (Electrical)
Seminar (1 credit) and two courses from the list below. Four additional
courses (12 credits) must be taken within one of the two emphasis
areas:
- EGES 501
- Advanced Engineering Measurements (4 credits)
- EGES 502
- Interdisciplinary Modeling and Simulation (4 credits)
- EGES 503
- Modern Engineering Design and Project Management (3 credits)
- EGES 550
- Numerical Methods for Engineers (3 credits)
- EGES 515
- Advanced Linear Systems (3 credits)
- EGES 598
- Introduction to Stochastic Processes (3 credits)
- MACS 401
- Real Analysis (3 credits)
- MACS 404
- Artificial Intelligence (3 credits)
- MACS 407
- Introduction to Scientific Computing (3 credits)
- MACS 500
- Linear Vector Spaces (3 credits)
- MACS 506
- Complex Analysis II (3 credits)
- MACS 514
- Applied Mathematics I (3 credits)
- MACS 530
- Statistical Methods I (3 credits)
Masters students
must then complete technical electives as approved by their advisor
- thesis option (5 credits), non-thesis option (17 credits). To
complete the program, thesis students take 12 credits of research
leading to a master's thesis.
Combined
Engineering Physics or Chemistry BS and
Engineering Systems MS
Mines undergraduate
students in this program fill in their technical and free electives
over their standard four year Engineering Physics or Chemistry B.S.
program with a reduced set of engineering classes in either the
electrical engineering track or mechanical engineering track. Six
credits of 400-level coursework can be counted towards both the
B.S. and M.S. degree requirements. Undergraduate students should
express interest in entering this program during their mid sophomore
or early junior year. Students must maintain a B average to remain
in good standing. A formal graduate application should be completed
early senior year. Most students in this program complete a non-thesis
degree by completing the remaining degree requirements listed above.
Doctor
of Philosophy
The Ph.D. program
requires 72 credit hours beyond the bachelor's degree. All doctoral
students must pass a qualifying examination, which is intended to
gauge the student's capability to pursue research in Engineering
Systems. Students must also successfully write and defend a dissertation
of his/her research.
Specific degree
requirements for the Ph.D. are listed below.
- Two courses
from the above list of courses (6 credits)
- EGES 504
Engineering Systems (Electrical) Seminar (1 credit)
- Four courses
in one of the two emphasis tracks (12 credits)
- Minor Program
of Study (12 credits)
- Technical
Electives (17 credits)
- Thesis Research
(24 credits)
Admissions/Entrance
Requirements
The requirements
for admission for the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Engineering Systems
are a baccalaureate degree in engineering, computer science, a physical
science, or math with a grade-point average over 3.0/4.0; Graduate
Record Examination score of 650 (quantitative) and a TOEFL score
of 550 or higher (paper based), 213 (computer based) for applicants
whose native language is not English. Applicants from an engineering
program at CSM are not required to submit GRE scores. The Engineering
Graduate committee evaluating an applicant may require that the
student take undergraduate remedial coursework to overcome technical
deficiencies, which does not count toward the graduate program.

Financial
Assistance
Applicants seeking
financial support should indicate such within the Application for
Admission. Support may be in the form of teaching assistantships
(TA), research assistantships (RA), or fellowships. TAs are generally
offered by March 15 for the next academic year; hence, are not available
beginning with the spring semester.
RAs are offered
by individual faculty to students whom they expect will contribute
quickly to a particular funded research project. Applicants interested
in RAs should contact directly the faculty members whose research
interests parallel their own.
Western
Regional Graduate Program
The M.S. and
Ph.D. programs in the Division of Engineering are participants in
the Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP). The program offers
students access to many high-quality graduate programs at reduced
costs. Residents of Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana,
Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington,
and Wyoming are eligible to enroll in our Engineering graduate programs
at resident tuition rates. Students do not have to meet specific
financial criteria, but they must meet all admissions requirements
and deadlines set by the institution. All students who indicate
residency of one of these states on the admission application will
automatically be included in this program.
