What is the MSIT-ESE Curriculum?
The MSIT-ESE curriculum is comprised of six core courses, three electives, and a team-based project. It centers around three key areas: software engineering and computer science, computer engineering, and systems engineering. Rather than working on a thesis as in a traditional master’s program, MSIT-ESE students work on a Practicum project. The Practicum is a capstone project in which students demonstrate their grasp of fundamental knowledge. It provides an opportunity for students to put classroom concepts to practice in a realistic, project-oriented setting. Projects are directed by mentors with significant industrial experience, guiding students as they apply methods, techniques, and technologies to real-world problems encountered in a typical project. The full-time MSIT-ESE plan of study can be completed in three semesters when taken full-time on campus, or longer if taken part-time.. The MSIT-ESE curriculum consists of core courses, academic electives, and a Practicum project.
