Prospective Graduate Students
The graduate programs in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science emphasize the practical applications of electrical and computer sciences and the technological needs of society. The electrical engineering, computer science and computer engineering programs are designed to prepare students for industry, teaching and research careers. The School offers graduate studies leading to the degrees of Master of Science, Master of Engineering, and Doctor of Philosophy. One of the many benefits of having one School of EECS is that EECS graduate students may be advised by faculty from either department (electrical engineering or computer science and engineering).
Electrical Engineering
Areas of specilization in electrical engineering include communications, computer vision and pattern recognition, networking, signal and image processing, control systems, power and energy systems, electro-optics and non-linear optics, microwaves, antennas and propagation, remote sensing and space systems, circuits and networks, materials and devices, and very-large-scale-integration (VLSI). Faculty members associated with each of these areas have technical interests that overlap with other graduate programs, such that many research projects have a multidisciplinary flavor.

Computer Science and Engineering
Research plays an important role in graduate education in computer science and engineering at Penn State. Our faculty currently work on some of the most leading edge research areas in bioinformatics, computer vision, databases, embedded and hardware systems, enterprise computing and IT infrastructure management, network and security, numerical analysis, and scientific computer and theoretical computer science.
