Electricity was still a novelty when Cornell University introduced the nation's (and the world's) first course of study in electrical engineering in 1883. Now, the reach of electrical and computer engineering extends from the nanoscale level of integrated electronics to terrestrial-scale power grids; from single-transistor devices to networks comprising a billion nodes. 

The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University remains at the forefront of our field, educating and training the next generation of engineers driving the leading edge of technology, and offering three nationally-ranked academic degree programs.

At Cornell ECE, you can confront persistent real-world problems, driving the leading edge of existing and emerging technologies with research that pushes the very edge of new. ECE M.Eng. students come from diverse backgrounds to invest in their futures and apply theories to immediate problems.

Whether you want to work in power and energy, bioelectrical engineering, computer architecture, imaging, nanotechnology, photonics, neuroscience, computing, or just want to explore what’s out there for you to discover and have an impact on the world, an M.Eng. degree from Cornell ECE will empower you to reach your goals and your potential.

Earn all of this in just one year with an M.Eng. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Cornell University!

We also offer the option for students to voluntarily extend their ECE M.Eng. degree program for a third semester. Students who extend have the opportunity to enroll in additional courses and become even better prepared for their job search. Extending also allows for the option to consider pursuing a Summer Internship between the Second and Third Semester. Students must be enrolled in a full-time capacity, pay the full amount in terms of cost, and are expected to fulfill increased course and credit hour requirements in order to complete a Three Semester ECE M.Eng. degree program.
