Program Overview

Electrical, Computer & Energy Engineering

The Electrical, Computer & Energy Engineering department offers various programs, including the Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Photonics and Optics

Photonics and Optics is a field that has defined the 21st century, with applications in LEDs, photovoltaic panels, displays, cameras, and optical fiber communication. The MS-EE on Coursera's photonics curriculum provides a firm theoretical foundation on the generation, modulation, radiative or guided transmission, sensing, and detection of optical signals.
