For the Engineer degrees, 162 units are required, plus an acceptable thesis.
The Department further requires 24 units of thesis registration, and that at
least 90 units, consisting of no less than eight subjects (none less than 9
units), of the 162 required units be graduate "H" subjects. Subjects in which
the grade received is C, D, or F will not be accepted in fulfillment of the unit
requirement for the EE or ECS degree. A Master's thesis of superior quality will
satisfy the EE or ECS thesis requirement. When the Master's thesis grade is
reported, the thesis supervisor is asked to certify that, should the EE or ECS
degree eventually be sought, the Master's thesis meets the required criteria for
quality.

The Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department does NOT require GRE scores for admission purposes. Admission is determined by GPA (Grade Point Average) although there is not an official cut-off, letters of recommendation (we need three of them) and a "Statement of Purpose" in which you write an essay detailing your research interests. A very strong background in math, physics, engineering, or computer science is a necessity. Admission for the limited number of openings is extremely competitive and each year we are forced to turn down hundreds of applicants with excellent credentials. Since we do not have a terminal Master’s program in EECS, everyone must apply for PhD. Applicants who gain admission pursue the Master’s degree on the way to the PhD. If a student already has a Master’s from another school, there is no need to do another Master’s degree here at MIT.
International students must take the TOEFL exam and earn at least a score of 100 (internet-based). In some cases, the TOEFL can be waived; such as if you've been in U.S. for at least two years, or if your country's first language is English. International students can also take the IELTS exam if the TOEFL is not available to you. We need to see a score of ‘7’ on this test. It also can be waived for the same reasons as the TOEFL.
"EECS is Everywhere."
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science is the largest
department at MIT, annually preparing hundreds of graduate and undergraduate
students for career leadership in fields such as academia, biomedical
technology, finance, consulting, law, nanotechnology, and more. MIT EECS
consistently tops the U.S. News & World Report and other college rankings
and is widely recognized for its world-class faculty, who provide outstanding
education and conduct innovative and award-winning research.
As of January 2018, EECS enrolled 1,274 undergraduate majors and 1,943
graduate students. In 2016-17, the department awarded 143 undergraduate, 260
master’s, and 94 doctoral degrees.
Nearly 130 EECS faculty members find their research homes in four major
affiliate labs: the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
(CSAIL), the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS), the
Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL), and the Research Laboratory of
Electronics (RLE). Faculty members' interdisciplinary approach and collaborative
thinking cut across these labs, throughout MIT, and into industry and academia
worldwide.
From robots that perform with professional dance troupes to medical
electronic devices that harvest energy from differences in body temperature,
EECS's work improves the quality of life for people throughout the world. Think
of some things you use every day; chances are that EECS has had a hand in them.
For example: the World Wide Web (Sir Tim Berners-Lee, CSAIL), the conversion of
analog to digital TV (Jae S. Lim, RLE), building more reliable grids through
development of systems behavior algorithms (work of Munther A. Dahleh, LIDS and
the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society, or IDSS), new MRI scanning
technologies (Elfar Adalsteinsson, RLE), and many more.
