The Communications and Signal Processing area considers the generation, analysis, transmission, reception, and processing of electronic information. It also works with image analysis and voice recognition as examples of digital signal processing. Students are encouraged to visit a faculty member if they want to sub-specialize in digital or analog communication. The courses required in the area are described in this table. A student needs to take the course marked as R (required) plus any other (RE) required course prior to taking the Capstone course.
