Program Description
Graduate program in Electronics Engineering and Computer Science provides M.S. and Ph.D. level education in four areas: Microelectronics,Telecommunications,Mechatronics,Computer Science. EECS program prepares students with theoretical fundamentals, technical background and hands on experience. Research spans a wide range of topics such as VLSI systems,MEMS, Optoelectronics, Robotics, Real-time systems,Wireless Comm.,Networking,Image/Speech Processing,Pattern Recognition,Data Mining,Cryptography/Security.
Program Objectives
The Electronics Engineering (EE) program is designed to provide the theoretical fundamentals and a comprehensive technological background for leading edge work in this rapidly developing field. The program offers a balanced set of courses in the areas of electronic devices and circuits, optics, communication systems, networks, information and signal processing, from which our students are able to select their courses according to their own interests. The entire program is structured around an innovative project-based approach to education, which will challenge students to excel in defining and solving realistic design and engineering problems. With these sound knowledge and skills, our EE graduates are expected to assume technological leadership positions in electronics, computing communication and related sectors.
