AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the pursuit of a master's degree in electronics and communication from the USA, specifically seeking programs that focus on areas like chip designing, microprocessors, microcontrollers, and programming devices. The individual expresses concern over the limited availability of dedicated electronics programs, noting that many options fall under computer science or electrical engineering. It is highlighted that in the U.S., many of the desired topics are typically covered in computer engineering or as a concentration within electrical engineering. Additionally, it is suggested to explore various university department websites for more information, as electronics often falls under electrical engineering in the U.S. education system.

I am from India ,pursuing electronics and communication degree...i wanted to do my MASTERS in USA..but but when i searched for courses for masters i only found courses for "computer science" and "electrical " ...I wanted to get masters degree in electronicsbranch...some fields like:
1.chip designing
2.microprocessors
3.micro controllers
4.programming devices
i don't want to have master s in electrical field..something like
1.transormer building
electrical appliences
devices that deal with 240 volts or more...

and i don't have any idea of wat computer engineering is...
we dnt even have that branch in any college in india//...!

so guyz who ever see this please do reply..(0f u have an idea )...that would be really great
thank you...:)

The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org
Check out the websites for various departments. Typically electronics appears under the department of electrical engineering.

At most school in the US that would be computer engineering, or a computer concentration in electrical.
note: chip designing is more electrical and in some cases requires a slightly different skillset.
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
