The department of electrical engineering and computer science offers courses of study leading to three Master of Science degrees; one in computer networking , one inComputer science, and another in electrical engineering.
A project conducted under the supervision of an academic adviser for the directed project option. Requires a written report and an oral presentation on the project. Graded S/U only. Prerequisite: consent of academic adviser. AE 890. Independent Study (1–3). Arranged individual independent study in specialized areas of aerospace engineering under the supervision of a faculty member. Repeatable for credit. Prerequisite: consent of supervising faculty member. AE 911. Airfoil Design (3). Historical development of airfoils, underlying theories and experiments; modern airfoil design philosophies and techniques; theories used in modern airfoil computation methods ; application of computer programs for practical airfoil design problems including high lift and control devices. Prerequisites: AE 711, MATH 757. AE 913. Aerodynamics of Aeroelasticity (3). A study of thin airfoils and finite wings in steady flow and thin airfoils oscillating in incompressible flow. Includes extension to compressible and three-dimensional airfoils and modern methods for low aspect ratio lining surfaces. Prerequisites: AE 711 and 777 or instructor's consent. A study of structured grid generation schemes, transformation of the governing equations of fluid motion, numerical algorithms for the solution of Euler equations, parabolized Navier-Stokes equations , and Navier-Stokes equations. Explores the fundamentals of unstructured grids and finite volume schemes. Prerequisite: AE 719 or ME 858. AE 936. Theory of Plasticity (3). Includes criteria of yielding, plastic stress-strain relationships, and stress and deformation in thick-walled shells, rotating discs and cylinders, bending and torsion of pris-matic bars for ideally plastic and strain-hardening materials. Includes two-dimension and axially symmetric problems of finite deformation and variation-al and extremum principles. Prerequisite: AE 731. The department of electrical engineering and computer science offers courses of study leading to three Master of Science (MS) degrees; one in computer networking , one in computer science, and another in electrical engineering. It also offers courses leading to the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in electrical engineering. This is a comprehensive degree program that prepares graduate students for careers in computer networking and information security. The curriculum structure provides students with an integrated experience in system engineering, economics, architecture, computer security , and policies of computer communication networks. Through a combination of advanced courses and electives, the MS degree in computer science seeks to provide a level of concentration suitable for advanced professional work and/or further graduate study in computer science. In addition to the general admission requirements for all engineering students, electrical engineering and computer science students must …
