What is senior design?
Pathway seminar focusing on the capstone senior design experience.
Signal processing/communications and controls
Signal processing involves sound, images and sensor data, while the field of communications provides society with storage devices, such as hard drives, and connectivity, such as the internet and mobile phones. Controls help a variety of applications function, such as robotics and self-driving cars.
Quantum engineering and data science
Quantum engineering research investigates technology that operates using the quantum mechanics of physics. Quantum technology has the potential to change how computing is done, allowing us to solve problems that were previously impossible or impractical for traditional computers.
Physical electronics and photonics
Physical electronics and photonics (formerly solid-state electronics) deals with circuits and devices built from and contained within solid materials. Some examples are microchips, LED and LCD devices. The field covers topics that include semiconductor devices and materials, characterization, photonic/photovoltaic devices, semiconductor processing/intelligent control, nanoelectronics, computational electronics and molecular electronics and transport.
