Note: Spring 2007 is the last semester we accepted students in this program.
The MCE degree (Master of Control Engineering) is a terminal professional degree designed for students interested in an industrial career. It is particularly suited for part-time students working in local industries.
The MCE degree requires 30 units, which may include optionally 6 units for thesis or independent study.
Required courses (15 units) for the MCE degree include:
ESE 541 Control Systems
ESE 543 Control Systems Design by State Space Methods
ESE 525 Random Processes and Kalman Filtering
and at least two of the following five courses:
ESE 515 Optimization
ESE 520 Probability and Stochastic Processes
ESE 551 Linear Dynamic Systems I
ESE 552 Linear Dynamic Systems II
ESE 553 Nonlinear Dynamic Systems
Elective Courses (15 units) The fifteen units of electives should be courses of technical nature at the senior and graduate levels approved by the Program Director.
It is allowed to transfer 6 units of courses from another school as electives provided that the courses were not needed for the student’s Bachelor’s degree.
The degree program must be consistent with the residency and other applicable requirements of Washington University and the School of Engineering & Applied Science.
