Program Mission
The Master of Science in Computer Science and Engineering (MS in CSE) program offered by the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) Department at East West University is organized into five broad areas: (1) theoretical computer science, (2) software systems, (3) intelligent systems, (4) hardware systems and CAD, and (5) VLSI systems and CAD. A student must earn at least 33 credits for obtaining MS in CSE degree. The student must satisfy course requirements in "kernel" areas of theoretical computer science, software systems, intelligent systems, and hardware systems and CAD. The purpose of the kernel is to give the student broad training in the major areas of computer science and engineering. In addition, the student must satisfy course requirements in any of the "concentration" areas of software systems, intelligent systems, hardware systems and CAD, and VLSI systems and CAD. The purpose of the concentration is to allow the students to build expertise in a specific area of computer science and engineering. The student must also complete a master's thesis in his/her concentration area under the guidance of any faculty members of the department. Besides the kernel and concentration course requirements, all students must take a compulsory course on management of information technology, which will provide them a broad spectrum of knowledge of tools, approaches and techniques used to manage, evaluate and improve the Information Technology resources.
