Welcome to San Diego State University. Every classified graduate student admitted into the Electrical and Computer Engineering at San Diego State University can obtain an MS degree by following two options:

  • Plan A: Thesis Option


  • Students selecting Plan A must complete 21 units of course work (7 courses), 6 units of EE 797 "Research" under supervision of a full - time EE faculty, and 3 units of EE 799A "Thesis". A completed thesis in a required format shall be submitted to the department and the university. Normally, an oral defense of the thesis is required. Credit for 797 will be given only after completing a thesis. The student will choose one core course, 3 courses from depth area, one course in each of two breadth area and one elective course.

  • Plan B: Non - Thesis Option


  • Student selecting Plan B must complete 30 units of course work (10 courses) and must pass a written comprehensive examination.The sutdent will choose one core course, three courses from the depth area, at least two courses in each of the two breadth areas, with the remaining courses as electives.EE 797 cannot be used as one of the courses required for graduation.

    In case of a change from Plan A to Plan B, the research credits taken under Plan A will not be counted towards course requirements for Plan B.The student is required to take the additional courses as required in Plan B.

  • Comprehensive Examination


  • The written comprehensive examination tests the students understanding and mastery of fundamental principles and their ability to apply them to engineering problems. Members of the ECE faculty will grade the comprehensive examination for technical correctness, completeness, and clarity of expression. After two unsuccessful attempts,the student may not take the examination again without written permissions from the department chair. The chair, at this time, may require the student to successfully complete certain additional courses before taking the comprehensive examination a third and final time.
