The Master of Science in Wireless and Network Engineering is administered by the Institute for Intelligent Networked Systems and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. This program is aimed at preparing highly qualified researchers and a specialized workforce that will lead the future of our hyperconnected society. The program will provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to understand, design, and implement present and future wireless and wired communication networks through a combination of coursework, master's thesis research, and/or industry experience.
Beginning with students admitted in the fall of 2026, all students pursuing on-ground master's degree programs must complete a university-level experiential learning requirement. This requirement may be fulfilled through the curriculum, co-op, or other work- or industry-integrated learning experiences.
