Computer and Embedded Systems Track

Computer and Embedded Systems Track

Computer and embedded circuit engineering is the area to integrate digital electronics with computer sciences, involving hardware and software in a wide range of industry sectors and consumer’s daily life. Many of our household and commercial items make use of digital electronics include computers, smartphones, vehicles, airplanes, televisions, remote controls, and other entertainment systems. Computer hardware engineers, including digital circuit designers, work on developing microprocessors, memory chips, data storage, and computer networking devices while computer software engineers develop operating systems, computer programs, computer networks, and software securities. Examples of Local Employers: Texas Instruments, TSMC, Facebook, Lockheed Martin, Intel, Mathworks, Boeing.

The Computer and Embedded Systems Track shows the flow of courses in the Undergraduate and Master track, including prerequisite, mandatory courses, and electives associated with design, analysis, layout, and fabrication/implementation of a wide spectrum of components and systems. UG students will take 2 prerequisites, as well as taking 1 mandatory elective, followed by taking 3 out of 4 electives. MS students must complete 2 prerequisites, as well as 3 out of 5 electives.
