Electrical Engineering - Colorado School of Mines

Electrical Engineering from Colorado School of Mines is a Campus Master Electrical Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. The engineering program offers a graduate multidisciplinary education with the option of including a specialization in electrical engineering. The program demands academic rigor and depth, yet also addresses the real-world problems of advanced engineering and technology. The choice of research topics and course offerings prepares graduates for a range of industrial or academic careers. Research The Division of Engineering is always on the cutting edge of research. Much of the research in the electrical engineering specialty involves applications at the intersections of the traditional engineering disciplines. Our main research focus lies in the following two areas: Sensing, Communications and Control: An interdisciplinary research area that encompasses the fields of control systems, wireless communications, signal and image processing, robotics, and mechatronics. Focus areas include intelligent and learning control systems, fault detection and system identification, compressive sensing, wireless communication circuits, computer vision and pattern recognition, sensor development, mobile manipulation and autonomous systems. Applications can be found in renewable energy and power systems, materials processing, sensor and control networks, bio-engineering, intelligent structures and geosystems. Energy Systems and Power Electronics: This area is focused on both fundamental and applied research in the interrelated fields of conventional electric power systems and electric machinery, renewable energy and distributed generation, energy economics and policy issues, power quality, power electronics and drives. The overall scope of research encompasses a broad spectrum of electrical energy applications including investor-owned utilities, rural electric associations, manufacturing facilities, regulatory agencies and consulting engineering firms. Master of Science 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 . All students must complete EGES 504 - Engineering Systems (Electrical) Seminar (one credit). Four additional courses (12 credits) must be taken within one of the two emphasis areas: Energy Systems and Power Electronics Track EGGN580 Power Quality (3 credits) EGGN582 Renewable Energy and Distributed Generation (3 credits) EGGN583 Advanced Electrical Machine Dynamics (3 credits) EGGN584 Power Distribution Systems Engineering (3 credits) EGGN545 Advanced High Power Electronics (3 credits) EGGN586 High Voltage AC and DC Transmission (3 credits) EGGN587 Intro to Power Systems Market Operations (3 credits) Sensing, Communications and Control Track EGGN510 Image and Multidimensional Signal Processing (3 credits) EGGN513 Wireless Systems Design (3 credits) EGGN515 Mathematical Methods for Signals and Systems (3 credits) EGGN517 Advanced Control Theory and Design (3 credits) EGGN518 Robot Mechanics and Control (3 credits) View more details on Colorado School of Mines .
