This is a 12-credit hour (4 courses) Graduate Certificate in Digital Signal Processing trains engineers to become in trained in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques and methodologies that have been widely employed in many application areas, ranging from consumer electronics to space exploration to medicine.  With the advances in microelectronics and high-speed microprocessors/microcontrollers/DSP processors.  Many complex DSP algorithms for solving real-world application problems can be implemented in real-time in a cost-effective manner.  Examples are high-performance telecommunication and networking, video/audio/data communications, control of complex systems, medical imaging, etc.  This certificate program is designed to help practicing engineers become knowledgeable about the area of digital signal processing.  The certificate the student earns serves as evidence that they have achieved a significant level of expertise in digital signal processing.

The certificate requires selection of at least two courses in the required area and the remaining two courses in the elective area.

Required Courses:

  • ECE 53800: Digital Signal Processing I
  • ECE 60000: Random Variables and Signals

Electives (choose two courses):

  • ECE 53600: Introduction to computational Intelligence
  • ECE 53700: Multimedia Applications
  • ECE 54400: Digital Communications
  • ECE 55900: MOS VLSI Design
  • ECE 58000: Optimization Methods for Systems and Control
  • ECE 59500: Topics - Multimedia and Mobile Computing
  • ECE 59500: Topics - Advanced Digital Signal Processors
  • ECE 60200: Lumped System Theory
  • ECE 60800: Computational Models and Methods
  • ECE 62600: Adaptive Signal Processing
  • ECE 62900: Introduction to Neural Networks
  • ECE 63700: Digital Image Processing I
  • ECE 64500: Estimation Theory
  • ECE 64800: Digital Signal Processing II
  • MA 51100: Linear Algebra with Applications

(Note either ECE 60200 or ECE 60800 can be applied to the certificate, but not both)
