COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

Graduate programs in engineering include the Master of Science in Civil Engineering, the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, the Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering, and the Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering. These programs offer opportunities for advanced study and research designed to prepare students for leadership roles in engineering careers with industry, government, or educational institutions. A thesis option is recommended for students who are planning a career in research or who contemplate pursuing a doctorate in one of the engineering disciplines. A nonthesis option is alsoavailable for students who desire a practical industrial applications-oriented degree.

Civil engineering includes programs of study in structures, environmental sciences, systems, solid mechanics, and materials. Electrical engineering includes programs of study in signal processing, digital systems, communications, instrumentation, and control systems. Mechanical engineering includes programs of study in thermal and fluid systems, mechanical systems and design, solid mechanics, materials, biomechanics, and biomaterials.

A Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Electrical Engineering offers an in-depth and integrated study focused in one of the following areas: communications, signal and image processing, digital systems, and control.

The implementation of a Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Biomedical Engineering is targeted for Fall 2003 pending Coordinating Board approval. Updates will be posted on the Graduate Studies website (www.utsa.edu/graduate). Student inquiries should be directed to Dr. C. Mauli Agrawal, College of Engineering Dean’s Office.

A limited number of assistantships and fellowships are available to qualified students. Financial assistance is awarded on a competitive basis.
