Master’s in Engineering in USA

Financial Engineering (FE) is the application of quantitative methods to the analysis of financial markets and financial products. The quantitative techniques may include Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Machine Learning, Neural Nets, and generalized Data Analytics. The applications include searching for opportunities as well as deriving solutions to financial problems. All financial markets are a subject for FE, from public exchanges to private over-the-counter markets. Similarly, all financial products, from equities, bonds and derivatives to bitcoins are candidates for quantification. An overarching theme for FE involves balancing reward against techniques for the measurement, management, and mitigation of risk. 

Upon completing the MBA degree, students will be able to:

1. Demonstrate an understanding and application of the foundational frameworks and tools of all business disciplines, including accounting, finance, marketing, organizational behavior, and strategic management.
2. Develop, evaluate, and implement complex business strategies and operational solutions holistically, integrating management principles across the functional areas.
3. Function effectively in a team setting both as a leader and a contributor.

Upon completing the MIE degree, students will be able to:

1. Build physical and mathematical models of complex systems that arise in real-world situations.
2. Understand the flow of material from manufacturing to warehouses to customers through physical or mathematical models.
3. Produce data-driven and implementable solutions that improve the efficiency of real-world systems.
4. Communicate the solutions and insights generated by the models to a non-technical audience.

Thesis and non-thesis options are available for the MS in Computer Engineering.

• For a non-thesis degree, a minimum of 30 semester hours of coursework is required.
  • Thesis options require 30 credit hours of which six credits of ECE699 shall be devoted to individual study with a member of the graduate faculty. This work must culminate in the preparation of a written thesis on a significant problem of common interest, and an oral defense of the thesis. Students completing a thesis must also complete one credit of Responsible Conduct of Research training.  At the advisory committee’s or Graduate Coordinator’s discretion, this credit may be substituted for one of the 6 required thesis/dissertation credits (ECE699).

Students interested in pursuing the above Dual Master’s Program (DMP) will have initially entered either the M.S.S.I. program or the M.S.E. program in Computer Science, and then apply for the DMP at a later point. A maximum of two courses (approved by the advisors) can be double counted toward each set of course requirements, thereby facilitating the feasibility of completing the DMP in two academic years plus the in-between summer. In such cases, the designation of the double counted courses would be done in conjunction with one advisor from each department and the Academic Program Administrator. Note that there will be separate degrees/diplomas awarded upon completion of each program's requirements.
