Electrical and Computer Engineering.

The Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering (MSECE) program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham focuses on equipping students with both core technical knowledge and practical, hands-on experience in various cutting-edge areas of engineering. Students can choose between thesis and non-thesis tracks, allowing them to tailor their educational experience based on their career goals. The program emphasizes applied learning in areas such as embedded systems and robotics, data analytics, signal and image processing, software engineering, hardware-aware machine learning, edge AI applications, and control and power systems. This program is designed to provide a strong applied emphasis on areas not typically covered in depth in other programs, making it unique in its curriculum offering. Students have the flexibility to specialize in areas like Data Analytics, Signal and Image Processing, or Internet of Things and Embedded Systems, with courses such as Introduction to Large Language Models, Practical Computer Vision, and Industrial Control.
