Tackling the complexities of power/energy systems, electromagnetic radio wave propagation, and microelectronics, the University of Idaho serves as a premier national hub for power engineering research and industry-academic collaboration. This Master of Engineering (M.Engr) program immerses students in high-level electrical phenomena, moving beyond theory to the development of sophisticated solutions for modern communication devices, power grids, and advanced instrumentation.

Applied Research and Professional Development

Students gain invaluable hands-on experience by working directly with faculty on industry-vital projects, including the creation of engineering prototypes. Because this is a designated STEM program, it offers a distinct advantage for international students, potentially qualifying graduates for the 24-month STEM OPT extension. Whether you are looking to specialize in electronic packaging or advance your expertise in power systems, the curriculum is designed to bridge the gap between academic research and practical, real-world application.

The program is supported by a vibrant community of over 20 engineering organizations, including active chapters of the IEEE, the Power and Energy Society (PES), and the International Microelectronics and Packaging Society (IMAPS), ensuring that you remain connected to the pulse of the industry throughout your studies.

In Moscow, students study on an ivy-covered campus within a supportive and welcoming community. Campus life includes clubs, sports, housing, dining, lectures, performances and showcases. The university also offers online classes through Campus 360 and in-person study locations in Boise, Coeur d’Alene and Idaho Falls, giving students options beyond the Moscow campus.

The University of Idaho is Idaho’s first and only Carnegie R1 research university. Its academic offerings cover more than 200 areas of study, including agriculture, anatomy, fine arts and business administration. Learning is connected to hands-on experience, internships and career pathways, with research activity that includes using artificial intelligence to track wildfire spread and work related to nuclear energy law.

International students are among the applicant groups served through the university’s admissions process, alongside first-year, transfer and graduate students. Financial support includes scholarships, financial aid and low tuition, while housing and dining options are available on campus. Students can build connections with fellow Vandals through campus activities, explore opportunities across Idaho and take part in the university’s statewide footprint.
