Master of Science in Electrical Engineering
Rapidly developing global technologies are changing the way we live. The Master of Science (MS) in Electrical Engineering at RIT Dubai combines theoretical fundamentals as well as practical aspects in this dynamic field, and educates students in practices, methodologies, and cutting edge techniques.
