Some advice to help CNSIP graduate students fill out their plan of study
- If you are a master's degree student
- If you are a direct PhD student interested in the signal processing area
- Consider taking ECE600 in addition to two other courses during your first semester. ECE600 is a prerequisite to a lot of other courses and a basic tool in CNSIP, but it can be challenging. Many students also take ECE538 and a math course such as MA511 that semester.
A typical plan of study for a first semester Signal Processing Grad Student (MS or PhD) is:
ECE 600 ECE 538 MATH 511
- If you are a PhD student (direct or with an MS) you should select your plan of study to prepare for the QE!
Check the QE questions. Each QE question in CNSIP corresponds to a graduate course. You should:
1) Select the QE questions you would like to take. (4 total with at least 1 out of area and at least 2 in area.) 2) Make sure that you plan of study contains each corresponding course.
Normally, incoming PhD students take the QE in August, so you only have 2 semesters to prepare!
- Note that the following math courses are not acceptable for ECE graduate students in the CNSIP area
- MA527: Advanced Mathematics For Engineers And Physicists I
- MA528: Advanced Mathematics For Engineers And Physicists II
