UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION:
A major role of the public university is to provide an accessible and outstanding education to its students. The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department at UMass-Amherst takes this role very seriously. We provide an outstanding educational experience and continually strive to improve the educational system through innovation - both technological and (often more importantly) otherwise.
ECE 563: Introduction to Communications and Signal Processing (Fall 2007)
ECE 603: Probability and Random Processes (Fall 2008)
ECE 697U: Error Control Coding (Spring 2008)
ECE 745: Advanced Communication Theory (Spring 2009)
