Master of Science in Computer Engineering (MSCpE)

Power Modern Technology to Help Solve Real-World Problems

The master’s in computer engineering program at UCF covers a variety of areas related to computer systems and VLSI design, software engineering and algorithms, intelligent systems and Machine Learning, computer networks and computer security, as well as simulation systems. Your coursework will cover a broad background in various technical areas; however, you’ll have the opportunity to specialize in a research area of your interest.

Fundamental and applied research encompass a wide spectrum of subjects, from computer architecture and evolvable hardware to micro-and nano-electronics to networked dynamical systems and cooperative control. This transformational research supports sustainable economic growth, national security and an improved quality of life. Broad impacts of these research are facilitated by its centers led by and/or affiliated with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering: the FEEDER Consortium funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Electric Vehicle Transportation Center funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Through hands-on learning experiences both inside and outside of the classroom, you’ll gain a high level of competency in understanding, applying and enunciating the modern concepts, principles, methods, and theories necessary for the design and implementation of computing systems. Our graduates leave the program prepared to continue their studies toward a Ph.D. or directly enter industry and government positions.

Computer Engineering (MSCpE) – Accelerated BSCpE to MScPE
The accelerated BSCpE to MScPE program provides an opportunity for computer engineering and electrical engineering undergraduates to earn their bachelor’s and master’s degrees in five years. This allows students to dual count 12 credit hours of 5000- or 6000-level courses — with a grade of B or better — toward both the BS and MS requirements.
