M.S. in ECE in Thailand

Dual degree

The Carnegie Mellon - CMKL | Thailand program is a collaboration between Carnegie Mellon University and King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL), a leading engineering university in Thailand. To facilitate the collaboration with CMU, CMKL University has been established in association with KMITL to administer the program for research and education activities in Thailand.

The program includes intensive study in electrical and computer engineering with the opportunity to specialize in data science, security, cyber-physical systems, software engineering, and mobility. Graduates of the program will earn two degrees: one from Carnegie Mellon and the second from CMKL. Admission criteria for the ECE/Thailand M.S. Program are identical to current ECE M.S. admission standards. 

Interested students may apply for masters study in ECE.

Curriculum

Students in the ECE/Thailand M.S. Program will undertake an intensive study of the fundamentals of electrical and computer engineering. During the course of obtaining the M.S. degree, students will take graduate level ECE courses and participate in research projects.

Degree timeline

The ECE/Thailand M.S. is a two-year program with one year on the Carnegie Mellon campus and one year on the CMKL campus in Thailand. 

Faculty advising

Students will be supervised by two faculty advisors, one each from Carnegie Mellon and CMKL University, respectively. The advisors will assist with course selection and other elements of the M.S. Program, based on the student's background and academic goals. All requirements of the current ECE M.S. Program apply to the ECE/Thailand M.S. Program, as well.
