A minimum of 30 credit semester hour of academic work acceptable to the Advisory Committee (within the rules established by the College of Engineering and Applied Science) will be required for the Master of Engineering degree. In compliance with the Graduate School rules, the minimum grade required for a unit to count toward the 30 semester hours is a B minus (2.7). To couple this degree with electrical engineering, at least 15 of these hours must be 5000-level or above in electrical engineering courses, and must be taken in the CU Denver Department of Electrical Engineering. As many as 15 hours can be taken outside of electrical engineering, included 3 credit hours for the master of engineering project. The project should cover some area of creative investigation performed by the student and may relate directly to his/her professional work. The project must be defended orally before the Advisory Committee.

The student who wishes to enter the master of engineering program should apply to the electrical engineering department in the same manner as a master of science applicant.
