SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the pursuit of a Master's degree in Electronics, specifically focusing on fields such as chip designing, microprocessors, microcontrollers, and programming devices. The user expresses a clear preference for electronics over electrical engineering, which often encompasses higher voltage applications like transformer building. It is noted that in many U.S. universities, electronics is typically categorized under electrical engineering or computer engineering programs, which may include relevant concentrations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electronics principles and applications
  • Familiarity with chip design methodologies
  • Knowledge of microprocessor and microcontroller architectures
  • Basic programming skills for device programming
NEXT STEPS
  • Research U.S. universities offering Master's programs in Computer Engineering with a focus on electronics
  • Explore chip design tools such as Cadence or Mentor Graphics
  • Learn about microcontroller programming using platforms like Arduino or Raspberry Pi
  • Investigate the differences between electrical engineering and computer engineering curricula
USEFUL FOR

Students pursuing a Master's degree in electronics, professionals in the electronics field, and anyone interested in the distinctions between electrical and computer engineering programs.

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.
 
sai siril said:
1.chip designing
2.microprocessors
3.micro controllers
4.programming devices

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.
