of the program
Semiconductor Devices
Students majoring in ECE with a semiconductor emphasis develop the devices, systems, and technologies used to implement modern electronics devices and systems. Further, they support research into new technologies that, for example, will extend Moore's Law into the future. Depending on the courses selected, completion of semiconductor area coursework can provide additional understanding of topics in quantum mechanics, semiconductor device fabrication, and solid state devices. Electronic circuit engineers design and construct a large variety of electronic circuits that are often part of more complex electronic devices such as computers, cell phones and other wireless devices, audio and video equipment, medical devices, military electronics, and household and automotive electronics. Depending on the courses selected, completion of electronic circuits area coursework can provide additional understanding of topics related to the physics underlying electronic devices, the design, simulation, and testing of board-level, and anolog and digital integrated circuits, and the sophisticated embedded circuit and interface applications that these circuits make possible. Electronic circuit engineers work in a broad range of industries, including the telecommunications, medical, military, consumer electronics, and automotive industries.
Communication Systems
Communication systems engineers design and construct the transmitters, receivers, and infrastructure that make communication via commercial radio and television, wired and wireless phones, the internet, and all other information transmission systems possible. Depending on the courses selected, completion of communications systems area coursework can provide additional understanding of topics in electromagnetics, signal processing, analog and digital modulation, circuit design, wireless sensing, and network communication. Communication systems engineers find employment in the telecommunications industry, commercial radio and television, the internet and computer equipment industry, the utilities industry, manufacturing, and more generally, anywhere information must be moved from one location to another.
Internet of Things (IOT)
The Internet of Things (IoT) describes the evolution and integration of the internet to intelligent devices, sensors, actuators, controllers, and other types of Internet-enabled components. IoT-based applications have started to enable seminal advancements in a wide range of areas, including health and lifestyle; transportation; smart cities; environment; energy; agriculture; and industry. These complex IoT applications are comprised of a variety of sensors, wired/wireless communication technologies, data collection and storage techniques, data analytics and machine learning, decision making, security, and more. IoT applications are also increasingly concerned with issues regarding privacy and ethics. The umbrella of IoT technologies is rapidly growing and is becoming relevant to a wide variety of industries. Students pursing this focus area will gain an understanding of the many components that comprise an IoT system and how they might be integrated to benefit almost any organization.
Radio Frequency Circuit Design (RF)
Radio frequency (RF) circuit design is the sub-discipline of electrical engineering that deals with the design, manufacture, and testing of electronic circuits that operate in the RF portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. This portion of the spectrum includes frequencies that are commonly used for wireless communication systems. RF circuits are therefore an important and essential part of any device with wireless connectivity which includes most modern computers, IoT devices etc. A distinguishing feature of RF circuits is that the propagation time of the electrical signals through the circuit is comparable with the timescale of the signal oscillations themselves. This requires a specialized set of circuit design and analysis tools that are distinct from both low frequency electronics and optics. RF design engineers are among the most sought-after and highest paid engineering professionals.
