ECE M.Eng. Specializations and Minor
Specialization in Energy Systems:
The exciting Energy Systems in ECE specialization is intended to prepare students for professional practice. It provides students with a working knowledge of state-of-the-art traditional and alternative energy systems. Broadly speaking the specialization will familiarize students with concepts of energy sources, energy policy, energy distribution, and energy optimization methods. It is also intended that students further develop technical competence in several technical specializations of ECE. Students graduating with this specialization may become leaders in developing novel solutions to energy issues of the future. [Energy Conservation and Control Project]
Specialization in Complex Systems Design:
The overall MEng ECE degree is intended for to prepare students for professional practice on projects of a complex and multidisciplinary nature. The Complex Systems Design track provides students with the analytical and organizational tools and effective teamwork skills required for engineering & developing a complex system or product. The Complex Systems Design specialization also helps students develop graduate-level technical competence in one or more technical specializations of ECE.
Specialization in ECE Technology Management:
The Technology Management in ECE specialization is intended for to prepare students for professional practice. It is intended to provide students with the organizational and business tools required for managing technology based initiatives. It is also intended to further develop technical competence in one of several technical specializations of ECE
Systems Engineering Minor:
There is an increasing need in industry for engineers who not only have expertise in a particular engineering discipline, but who also possess diverse interdisciplinary skills. Prof. Peter Jackson puts the goals of this program very clearly… "We strive to equip engineers and managers with tools that work and reward right away and convey to them a habit of asking the right questions, seeing the open possibilities, and planning the best path - and to do all this when the situation is still fluid." - Peter L. Jackson, Director of Systems Engineering Program. [read more]

“I decided to come to Cornell because of the wide diversity it offers in
areas of research and the excellent faculty in the ECE department. Moreover, the flexibility provided in choosing the topics of research makes it a really great place for graduate study.”
