Communication/Digital Signal Processing Domain Electives

Communication systems and signal processing are long-standing areas of interest for electrical engineers. Audio, image, and video compression (JPEG, MPEG, MP3); medical imaging (MRI), image denoising/deblurring (Hubble telescope), music signal processing, radar, wireless computing (iPhone), sensor networks, and digital television are but a few examples of today’s communication and signal processing technologies.

A full set of technical electives are available for further study in both disciplines. Some of these are system oriented and prepare the student for industry, while others are more theoretical and are recommended for preparation for graduate school.
