Workshop Details
Program Description
To develop faster computer circuits, computer hardware researchers and designers need to know more about microwave engineering concepts. With the availability of relatively inexpensive microwave components and improved digital communications, commercial opportunities in the microwave and wireless engineering industry have few limits.
Who Should Apply?
The program is open to students with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or physics or with equivalent preparation, including a background in general physics and intermediate circuit theory. Students interested in earning a graduate degree can often apply these certificate courses toward a Tufts master's degree in electrical engineering.
