Each corecourse is focused on one of three major specialties:Hardware Design, Embedded Software, and DigitalSignal Processing and Digital Video. Since the embed-ded field is diverse, only one core course is required inthe area of the students interest or specialization.

Prerequisites

Technical aptitude, a background in science andtechnology, an engineering degree, programmingexperience, or equivalent knowledge acquired throughtraining and experience in the field. Prospectivestudents are advised to review prerequisites thatapply to individual courses.

Recommended Course Sequence

Beginners should take the core courses first.After that, courses may be taken in any orderprovided the prerequisites are met.

Note:Some courses may be listed in more than oneprogram, however, only one course may be sharedbetween two Engineering and Technology certificateprograms unless otherwise noted.
