Maestría en Ingeniería Informática

Today’s ever-increasing digital society demands computer engineers who can research, design, implement, and manage every aspect of electrical systems and their components. This can include detailed knowledge of computer architecture, software, wireless communication, signal processing, electromagnetics, fiber optics, and physical electronics.

A master’s in computer engineering from Florida Tech provides the type of high-level engineering training that gives graduates the skills they need to enter the technical workforce. Businesses in every major industry from aerospace to communications to the medical industry, electronics, and computing demand employees who are prepared for complex work environments where they can provide sound engineering solutions.

Why Pursue a Master's in Computer Engineering at Florida Tech?

Graduates of Florida Tech with a master’s in computer engineering are prepared for the highly competitive technical workforce, skilled in a number of areas related to computing and electronics.

With a master’s degree, graduates have the expertise they need to begin their career in just about any industry including the aerospace, automotive, medical, railway, and nuclear industries, as well as non-electrical industries such as computers, communications, and energy. Florida Tech engineering and technical degree programs empower future leaders.

Experienced, Respected Faculty

Professors in the master’s in computer engineering program bring many years of experience in the field to the classroom, where they mentor students to succeed, encouraging them to develop new ideas. Small class sizes ensure personalized attention from professors who get to work one-on-one with students, mentoring them in classroom study and relevant, topical field research. Florida Tech’s program is built on its reputation of over 50 years of excellence in engineering education.

Desirable Location

The 130-acre campus is located on the Space Coast (so named because of the presence of NASA and the Kennedy Space Center on Cape Canaveral just north of us). While many students in the computer-engineering program are working professionals, Florida Tech’s proximity to more than 5,000 high-tech corporations and government and military organizations in the Florida High Tech Corridor—one of the largest high-tech workforces in the nation—makes Florida Tech an ideal choice for a master’s in computer engineering. This workforce also provides an abundance of internship and employment opportunities.

It All Started With 37 Cents

Florida Tech was founded in 1958 as "Brevard Engineering College." It all started as an idea in the mind of Jerome P. Keuper, a visionary physicist working at Cape Canaveral.

As university lore would have it, Keuper expressed his desire to create a scientific and technological university to a friend over drinks at a local pub. Overhearing the conversation, a fellow patron pushed 37 cents in change across the bar and said, “There’s your first donation, Jerry. Now, go and build that college.”

So, Keuper did. And what started with 37 cents as a night school for the early “missilemen” of the U.S. space program is now a comprehensive national research university recognized worldwide for excellence in preparing students for careers of the future.

We Are Florida Tech

What we are is a private, coeducational, residential, research-intensive, doctoral-granting university located in Melbourne on Florida’s sunny “Space Coast.” But who we are is so much more. We are a community of researchers, scholars, and learners hailing from all around the world. We are engineers, aviators, innovators, leaders, educators, athletes, and astronauts. We have the brains of rocket scientists and the hearts of Panthers. We are Florida Tech.

We Are Relentless

Florida Tech is a university of leaders and learners—a diverse community of students, staff, faculty, and alumni who are united in the relentless pursuit of greatness.

We Are International

Students from more than 90 countries worldwide choose to live and learn at Florida Tech, making us a truly global university. When we say #YouAreWelcomeHere, we mean it.

We Create The Future

One of the primary tenets of Florida Tech’s mission is advancing science and technology for the benefit of Earth and all of its inhabitants. So, that’s what we do.

We Have Panther Pride

You may feel it the first time you visit the campus, the day you graduate, or at some point in between. But when you do, you’ll see that Panther Pride is more than school spirit. It’s a family.

We Make Connections

Florida Tech is proud to be part of the Brevard County community and welcomes its neighbors to explore the many personal, professional, corporate, and cultural opportunities we have to offer.

We Are STEM

There's a reason Florida Tech is known as Florida's STEM University™. To put it simply: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math are in our DNA. This makes STEM a driving force behind who we are, what we do, and why we exist.
