A professional master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering can enhance and strengthen a career in industry. The degree is designed for the recent graduate or business professional who wishes to expand his or her engineering knowledge, without completing a thesis. The degree emphasizes practical aspects of engineering, combined with management and communication coursework, allowing graduates to rapidly advance in their careers.
An MECE degree at Rice University, which is among the most acclaimed universities in Princeton Review history, provides in-depth instruction in a wide variety of specialization areas. The MECE shapes students into leaders in their respective fields and dramatically increases their know-how. The degree is a bridge to industry, designed to provide advanced learning and specialized training in the applied aspects of ECE technology. This non-thesis degree can be completed in three or four semesters.
