Master of Science in Power and Energy Systems 4
 
Master of Science in Power and Energy Systems
Master of Science in Power and Energy Systems (PES)

A program for students with an undergraduate degree in engineering who wish either to specialize in an advanced phase of electrical power engineering and energy systems to prepare for a more advanced degree.

Admission Requirements:

Applicants are expected to have undergraduate backgrounds in physics, mathematics (through differential equations and vector analysis), electrical networks and devices, electronics, analysis and design methods, transients, electromagnetic fields, and appropriate laboratory work in some of these areas. GRE scores must be submitted. International students must also achieve a minimum TOEFL score of 79 out 120 (or 550 in the old score system). For further information, see the Admissions section in this catalog.

Bridge Program:

Students who have earned a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (B.S.E.T.) degree, or who lack an appropriate background may be admitted and be required to take selected courses, such as the ones listed below, in addition to the degree requirements in order to make up deficiencies. They must attain a grade of B or better in each course. At the discretion of the department, students who have taken courses equivalent to these may have their bridge programs reduced accordingly.

Graduate Certificate Program:

A 12-credit graduate certificate in Power and Energy Systems is available and can be taken as a step toward this degree. See Graduate Certificates in the Degree Programs section of this catalog. For further information, call the Associate Vice President of Continuing and Distance Education, Division of Continuing Professional Education, 1 (800) 624-9850 or (973) 596-3060; e-mail cpe@njit.edu.

Degree Requirements:

This master's program consists of 30 credits that can include 6 credits of a master thesis (ECE 701), or 3 credits of a master's project (ECE 700). As a requirement for graduation, students must achieve a 3.0 cumulative GPA in graduate-level courses, not including the master's thesis or project. The project grade must be B or better.
