Introduction
The focused MSE in Communications
provides specialized study in communications systems and techniques.� Courses in the Systems, Communications, and
Signal Processing area are augmented by studies in the Photonics program for
the student interested in optical communications.� Appropriate courses from the Departments of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics and Statistics may be
taken as well.� Laboratories available
for student projects include the Telecommunications
Instructional Modelling System in the Basic
Communications Laboratory in Barton Hall and the ECE Software Radio Prototyping
Laboratory.��
