Fairfield Unive rsity
– School of Engineering
Fairfield University offers extensive resources, a vibrant
intellectual community and a beautiful campus. In the Jesuit
tradition, it is known both for scholarly achievement and for warmth
and respect among faculty and students.
The School of Engineering’s core mission is to maintain the highest
level of institutional integrity, and to offer to students the
opportunity to combine academic study with professional practice in
a learning environment where faculty and students can give
expression to their creative potential. The engineering faculty and
counselors are professionals active in the technology that energizes
Connecticut's diverse industry. Students pursue their studies on a
full-time or part-time basis.
Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering (MSECE)
Electrical and computer engineering constitute one half of what is
broadly called "information technology" (IT). The other half
includes software engineering and computer science. Given that often
a single technology product or process incorporates an array of
technologies, the MSECE program incorporates knowledge across the IT
spectrum by taking advantage of the School's master's degree
programs in software engineering and management of technology, as
well as the University's computer science program. As a result,
students gain a sense of the economic and business values needed to
employ technology to serve society's needs.
The MSECE program provides students with the knowledge and skills to
innovate and lead in their discipline in the framework of research
and development in academic institutions, the industrial workplace,
research laboratories or service organizations.
Graduates may seek employment in most industries, including the
computer, aerospace, telecommunications, power, manufacturing,
defense and electronics industries. They can expect to design
high-tech devices ranging from tiny microelectronic
integrated-circuit chips to powerful systems that use those chips
and efficient telecommunication systems that interconnect those
systems.
Master of Science in Management of Technology (MSMOT)
This degree is offered by the School of Engineering in conjunction
with the MBA program in the Charles F. Dolan School of Business.
The program instructs and trains engineers, scientists and those
with extensive experience in a technology environment in the
management of such functions as technology research and development,
product design and manufacturing, management of human and physical
resources and information and data analysis. MSMOT graduates become
effective leaders in small and large companies, providing creative
guidance to the development and/or adoption and marketing of
technology products and services.
The program is designed to accommodate students who are fully
employed and choose to complete their MSMOT studies on a part-time
basis, taking five to six courses per year. It can also be pursued
on a full-time basis.
Master of Science in Software Engineering (MSEE)
The MSSE program is intended to serve the needs of programmers,
software engineers and other information technology professionals.
The program emphasizes the integration of design, implementation and
software engineering skills to meet the challenges of developing
software systems.
Students who do not meet a minimum experience level or who have
other skill deficiencies will find a number of bridge courses
available to prepare them for the MSSE curriculum demands.
Specialization areas include:
Advanced Web
Applications Development
Students focus on current and emerging software technologies,
particularly programming, database management and network software
that are used in distributed web enterprise systems architecture.
Engineering Software Design
This specialization offers a structured approach to software
development, including formal work products that support the
development life cycle, quantitative analysis of proposed designs
and ergonomic evaluation of the man/machine interface.
Enterprise Systems
This program focuses on the underlying elements of a business
process and the special tools used to develop business processes,
thereby ensuring that the software engineer can be an effective
participant in the design and optimization of a process.
Network Technology
Students focus on the design and implementation of networks and the
infrastructure needed to support enterprise-level software
operations.
Software Engineering Management
The focus of this specialization is on project planning and control,
risk identification and management, customer/client communication
and requirement gathering, software quality control and assurance
techniques, measurement and metrics, people and team skills and
managing change.
Graduate Certificates in Software Engineering
The School of Engineering offers a master's degree in software
engineering as well as graduate-level certificate programs in select
areas of software engineering. The certificate programs allow
software professionals to upgrade their skills in selected areas.
Certificate program students enroll under "special student" status
and participate in courses offered through the MSSE program, earning
credits toward the MSSE degree, should they choose to pursue it.
Three certificate programs are available:
Information Security Technologies
Network Technologies
Web Applications Development
