MS Program Tracks Computer Engineering-Focused ECE MS Tracks Computer Architecture and Design Computer architecture and design encompasses everything from instruction set architecture to microprocessor design, memory hierarchy, interconnect, I/O, and performance measurement. Comp Arch Track Information Design Verification and Validation Design verification and validation is a systematic, engineering approach that works in tandem with other critical concerns to guide the development of correct and maintainable designs. DVV Track Information Digital IC Design Digital Computation is now ubiquitous, everything can compute. VLSI design concepts are necessary for all levels of digital computer design from computer architecture down to digital logic gates. Communication devices have digital computation leading to the merger of computers and communication devices. Digital IC Track Info Embedded Systems Track Embedded systems are computer systems dedicated to a particular functionality, rather than for a general purpose. Such systems typically are required to operate under stringent performance, power, cost, space, reliability, and real-time constraints. Embedded Systems Track Info Electrical Engineering-Focused MS Tracks Analog/RF Track Electronic communication can be defined as, the communication which uses electronic media to transmit the information or message using computers, e-mail, telephone, video calling, social networks, etc. Analog/RF Track Info Power Engineering Track Power engineering plays a significant role in the regional economy, with over eighty companies focused on various aspects of power. Investment in new generation and transmission, innovations in communications and IT, and rapidly-decreasing prices for renewable resources are all contributing to the industries. Power Track Information Signal Processing and Machine Learning Track We live in an era of unprecedented creation, transmission, and storage of data, ranging from traditional signals such as speech and sensor data to video streams and user preference data. The Signal Processing & Machine Learning track provides students with the tools they need to transform signals and data into information.
