In summary, the speaker is from India and wants to pursue a Master's degree in the USA in the field of electronics. However, they have only found courses for computer science and electrical engineering, which they do not want. The speaker is interested in fields such as chip designing, microprocessors, microcontrollers, and programming devices. They are looking for a Master's degree in electronics specifically and do not want to study electrical engineering or computer engineering, which is not offered in colleges in India. They ask for recommendations from anyone who may have knowledge in this area.

I am from India ,pursuing electronics and communication degree...i wanted to do my MASTERS in USA..but but when i searched for courses for masters i only found courses for "computer science" and "electrical " ...I wanted to get masters degree in electronicsbranch...some fields like:
1.chip designing
2.microprocessors
3.micro controllers
4.programming devices
i don't want to have master s in electrical field..something like
1.transormer building
electrical appliences
devices that deal with 240 volts or more...

and i don't have any idea of wat computer engineering is...
we dnt even have that branch in any college in india//...!

so guyz who ever see this please do reply..(0f u have an idea )...that would be really great
thank you...:)

4.programming devices

At most school in the US that would be computer engineering, or a computer concentration in electrical.
note: chip designing is more electrical and in some cases requires a slightly different skillset.
 

FAQ: Masterselectricalelectronicswhats the difference

What is the difference between a Master's in Electrical Engineering and a Master's in Electronics Engineering?

A Master's in Electrical Engineering focuses on the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. This includes topics such as circuit design, power systems, and control systems. A Master's in Electronics Engineering, on the other hand, focuses specifically on the design and development of electronic devices and systems, such as microprocessors, communication systems, and integrated circuits.

Can someone with a Master's in Electrical Engineering work in the field of Electronics Engineering?

Yes, someone with a Master's in Electrical Engineering can work in the field of Electronics Engineering. The two fields have significant overlap and many of the skills and knowledge gained in an Electrical Engineering program can be applied to Electronics Engineering work. However, some specialized knowledge and skills may need to be acquired through additional training or on-the-job experience.

Which degree is better for a career in the technology industry: Master's in Electrical Engineering or Master's in Electronics Engineering?

Both degrees can lead to successful careers in the technology industry. The choice ultimately depends on the individual's interests and career goals. A Master's in Electrical Engineering may be better suited for someone interested in power systems, renewable energy, or control systems. A Master's in Electronics Engineering may be a better fit for someone interested in the design and development of electronic devices and systems.

Do Master's in Electrical Engineering and Master's in Electronics Engineering have different admission requirements?

Admission requirements may vary between universities and programs, but in general, both degrees require a strong background in math and science, such as calculus, physics, and computer science. Some programs may also require a Bachelor's degree in a related field, such as Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.

What are the job prospects for graduates with a Master's in Electrical Engineering or Master's in Electronics Engineering?

Both degrees have excellent job prospects in a variety of industries, including technology, manufacturing, telecommunications, and energy. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of electrical and electronics engineers is projected to grow 5% from 2019 to 2029, which is faster than the average for all occupations.
