The Engineering program of SFSU consists of 2 major concentration areas:
1) Embedded Electrical and Computer Systems
2) Structural / Earthquake Engineering.
Embedded Electrical and Computer Systems
This specialization is basically Masters in Electrical Engineering. The course structure completes the general requirements for an Engineering Masters Student.
Master in Electrical Engineering is divided into three parts.
Engineering Core Courses
Engineering Elective Courses
Project/Thesis
In-order to graduate, one has to complete a total of 30 units. Of these 30 units, 12 units must be from engineering core courses and the remaining from Thesis/Project and Elective courses.
Although the School of Engineering does not offer any area of specialization offically, the course structure gives you the option of specialization in different fields like Nano-Electronics, Wireless Communication and Analog Electronics depending on the Electives you select.
Following is the course structure for Masters in Electrical Engineering
Engineering Cores
Each core course is offered only once every 3 semesters. It is important to register for these courses immediately because they get filled quite fast and a few of them are core requirements for structural engineering students (ENGR 800 and ENGR 801).
Following are the core courses offered at San Francisco State University
ENGR 800 Engineering Communications
ENGR 801 Engineering Management
ENGR 844 Embedded Systems
ENGR 852 Advanced Digital Design
Engineering Electives
Each core elective course is offered only once every 3 semesters. It is important to register for these courses immediately because they get filled quite fast and a few of them are core requirements for structural engineering students
Following are the elective courses offered at San Francisco State University
ENGR 845 Motion Control Technology (3)
ENGR 848 Digital VLSI Design (3)
ENGR 851 Advanced Microprocessor Architectures (3)
ENGR 853 Advanced Topics in Computer Communication and Networks (3)
ENGR 854 Wireless Data Communication Standards (3)
ENGR 855 Advanced Wireless Communication Technology (3) ENGR 856 Nano-Scale Circuits and Systems (3)
ENGR 857 Reconfigurable Computing (3)
ENGR 868 Advanced Control Systems (3)
ENGR 890 Graduate Seminar (3)
Project / Thesis Option
Under Project/Thesis students get a chance to do work on any topic independently with a professor. The student can either take project ( 3 units ) or Thesis ( 6 units ).
Project
Project is termed as ENGR 895: Applied Research Project. Students need to complete 12 units of graduate study and pass GET or English courses. The basic idea of this course is to research based study on objectives or findings of a field of research.
Thesis
Thesis is divided into two courses of 3 units each. ENGR 897 and ENGR 898 ENGR 897 is an independent investigation under a faculty member.
Pre-requisites:9 units of graduate study have to be completed before taking up the course. ENGR 898: GAP and proposal for culminating experience and course approval. This course is the continuation of 897; completing readings and writing thesis.
ENGR 897 and ENGR 898 cannot be taken in the same semester.
Pre-requisites for the course:
Students need to take few course before they take the core /elective courses. The whole idea behind giving pre-requisites to student is to make them better prepared to take the core/elective courses. Though, usually no student is given pre-requisites by the School of Engineering, these are a few courses expected to be completed in your under-graduate program.
MATH: MATH 226, 227, 228, 245
PHYS: PHYS 230/232, 240/242
ENGR: ENGR 205, 206, 301, 305, 353, 356, 478
