Admission
to the Department
NCSU is committed to
high quality graduate education. The ECE Department offers a
wide range of courses that cover advanced topics
in the electrical, computer and network engineering fields. The
courses cover both applied and theoretical aspects of engineering.
A major part of this commitment is producing world class research
results and teaching students how to achieve such results. Examples
of this work can be found on most faculty
websites. We expect our
applicants to understand that our goal is to produce excellent
graduates who can make a positive impact on the world after leaving
NC State.
Since graduate degrees
are more specialized than baccalaureate degrees, prospective
graduate students are expected to have
an area of interest in mind when they apply for admission to the
department. Applicants are required to fill out our online area
of interest
form. This information is used to determine which faculty will
review the applications. It is not possible to guarantee that any
particular faculty member reviews a particular application. The
faculty associated with the various research areas can be found
via the faculty
by research interest web page.
The ECE Department offers
financial aid in the form of teaching and research assistantships
(TA’s and RA’s). The research
assistantship is granted directly by an individual researcher to
students who are interested in working on projects in the researcher’s
area and for which the researcher has funding. Teaching assistantships
are granted by the ECE department from a pool of applicants who
have recommendations from research faculty. TAs are expected to
transfer to RA status within the first few semesters of enrollment.
