Engineering Management
include motor control, power systems, chemical processes, and micro-electro-mechanical systems. GECE 671 Design of Electrical Machinery 3 credits A design-oriented course which emphasizes realistic characteristics and specifications applicable to AC and DC motors and generators leading to an individual design project. GECE 672 Digital Image Processing 3 credits Prerequisite: GECE 572 This course presents strategies to process digital image data. Topics covered will include the representation and perception of images, the use of operations in the spatial and spatial-frequency domains to segment, enhance, filter, and restore digital images as well as transformations of images for multi-resolution analysis. Algorithms will be implemented and evaluated in Matlab/Simulink. GECE 673 Control of AC Drives 3 credits This course introduces the concept of AC drives. Various types of converters and inverters suitable for AC drives and the related control issues are presented and studied. The modeling and dynamical aspects of AC machines will be examined prior to the detailed discussion of the control issues and techniques such as vector control and field orientation, etc. GECE 680 Digital Communication 3 credits This is a graduate course in the analysis of digital communication systems. Methods to understand and analyze digitally modulated signals are presented. Optimum receiver designs, synchronization issues, and coding strategies for different channel models are developed. Communications over fading, multipath and bandlimited channels is studied using Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) schemes and Spread Spectrum (SS) approaches. GECE 681 Optical Devices and Systems 3 credits This course is an introduction to electroptics. This includes wave propagation, interaction with both iso and anisotropic materials, modulation techniques, lenses and lens systems and optical sources and detectors. Subsystems are considered initially but typical optical systems and applications are considered. GECE 690-699 Special Topics in Electrical Engineering 1-3 credits Special courses developed from study interest in all areas of Electrical Engineering or Embedded Software. Brief description of current content to be announced in schedule of classes. Graduate courses in the 600 series are open to graduate students only. * Please see course description in the Embedded Software Engineering Option

INTRODUCTION The graduate program in Engineering Management is designed to provide advanced studies for the graduate engineer who wishes to continue preparation in the profession as an engineering manager or project director/leader. The program provides continuing education in advanced engineering and business/management subjects for the working engineer who acknowledges the need to stay abreast of the rapidly changing technological and business world. Emphasis is placed on the development of the engineer’s capacity for independent study and continued professional growth. Students in the program accrue multiple benefits including enhanced technical knowledge together with a firm understanding of the business aspects in which a company must master. Required core engineering courses include project management, risk management, and reliability. Required core business courses include the technological environment of business and staples from business administration and/or business analytics. After completing the program, students will have gained new insight including how management perceives engineers. Your new expertise will provide a boost to your technical abilities as well as to enhance your skills as an effective leader and decision maker.
DEGREE OFFERED The Master of Science in Engineering Management is administered by the department of Mechanical Engineering within the College of Engineering and Business.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS 1. Applicants must have earned a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering from an ABET-accredited program or its equivalent, with a GPA of 2.5 or better. 2.
