The headphones around your neck, the turn signal in your car, the webcam above your screen — each of these was made possible by an electrical engineer. In fact, all electronics devices receive the attention, the design, and the creative input of electrical engineers.

As a student in the master's in Electrical Engineering program, you’ll use what you’ve already learned about physics, chemistry, and mathematics create the products of tomorrow. We support this kind of initiative by providing top-flight laboratories — home to developments in microwaves, VLSI design, and robotics — as well as a faculty dedicated to advanced research.

The program will prepare you for a professional career as an entrepreneur, a practicing engineer in industry, business or government at an advanced level, or to pursue a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering. You can choose a concentration from a number of stimulating fields, including the following:

  • Communications, Networking and Signal Processing
  • Computer Engineering and VLSI
  • Energy systems and power electronics
  • Electromagnetics and analog/RF/Biomedical circuits
  • Systems, control, and robotics

NYU Tandon BASICS

The 100% online NYU Tandon BASICS (Bridge to Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) program provides students from a wide range of backgrounds with foundational skills in computer programming and semiconductor chip design. No prior STEM background is required, making the program accessible to undergraduate students, non-STEM learners, and others interested in developing skills in this growing field.

BASICS is a self-paced, 28-week program that combines programming fundamentals with hands-on chip-design skills, including C++, logic and circuits, Verilog, design verification, FPGA prototyping, and a chip-fabrication capstone project. Students who earn the BASICS certificate are eligible to apply to NYU Tandon’s Master's in Electrical Engineering, providing a potential pathway from introductory semiconductor education to graduate study at Tandon.
