BSEE with a Specialization in Signals and Systems
The field of Signals and Systems is concerned with the manipulation and analysis of both analog and digital (sampled and quantized) signals. Signals are mathematical functions that measure a quantity over time or space like voltage, current, force, and light. Systems are devices or concepts that changes these signals, like circuits and machines or they can be done numerically on computers. Control Systems uses feedback to obtain desired system performance in the presence of uncertainties.
Examples of applications within the signals and systems field include communication systems (radio, telephone, television, radar, computer communications), signal processing (image processing, computer vision, speech recognition, computer music, filtering, noise removal, remote sensing) and controls (robotics, biomedical aids, mechanical end electical system controls). Since the applications of Signals and Systems are many, students with a strong background in signals and systems can find jobs in numerous industries including communications, biomedical, manufacturing, and more.
