Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering

Electrical and computer engineering is a field that combines the study of electrical systems, electronics, and computing to design and develop technologies ranging from power systems and communication networks to embedded devices and computer hardware and software. The Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Abu Dhabi University, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, is taught in English and builds on undergraduate engineering training to develop advanced technical and research capability in this area. Study at this level typically covers topics such as signal processing, control systems, digital and analog circuit design, telecommunications, computer architecture, and embedded systems, alongside the mathematical and computational tools used to analyze and design these systems. Students commonly explore areas such as power electronics and energy systems, wireless and networked communication, microelectronics, and the software and hardware integration needed to build modern computing and control systems. Coursework often combines advanced theoretical study with laboratory work and project-based learning, allowing students to apply engineering principles to the design, simulation, and testing of electrical and computing systems. Many programs also include a research or capstone project component, giving students the opportunity to investigate a specific problem in depth and develop skills in technical writing and problem-solving that extend beyond coursework. Graduates of programs in electrical and computer engineering typically pursue careers in industries such as telecommunications, energy and power systems, electronics and semiconductor design, computer hardware and software development, and automation, as well as further graduate study or research roles. The program is offered in Abu Dhabi by Abu Dhabi University.
