Embedded Systems, MSE
The Embedded Systems (EMBS) Graduate program is designed for students who wish to pursue industrial jobs in automotive, aerospace, defense, and consumer electronics, as well as for practicing engineers in the embedded systems industry who want to gain knowledge in state- of-the-art tools and theories. The core topics span embedded control, real-time operating systems, model-based design and verification, as well as implementation of embedded/autonomous systems. Applicants are expected to have a strong academic background in both computer science and electrical engineering. All EMBS candidates must be confident working at both the hardware and software levels of the stack. EMBS is a multi- disciplinary field, but we understand that not all incoming students may have the background required in certain areas. While we do not have prerequisites for admission, it is highly recommended that your undergraduate coursework covered the basics of both C/C++ and Java programming, computer architecture, operating systems, and algorithms. Work experience and practical project experience in the domain of Cyber- Physical Systems a plus.
