SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on selecting a specialization for a Master's degree in the U.S., with a particular interest in signal processing and control systems. The participant has a strong background in mathematics, MATLAB simulations, and some experience in communications. They express a clear preference against VLSI, analog systems, and microelectronics due to a lack of interest. The consensus suggests prioritizing fields with promising job prospects, specifically signal processing and control systems, while avoiding areas that may lead to tedious work.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of signal processing concepts and applications
  • Familiarity with control systems theory and design
  • Basic knowledge of MATLAB for simulations
  • Awareness of job market trends in engineering specializations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research job opportunities in signal processing and control systems
  • Explore advanced MATLAB techniques for simulations in engineering
  • Investigate the fundamentals of embedded systems and their applications
  • Review industry trends and salary expectations in communications engineering
USEFUL FOR

Graduate students in engineering, particularly those specializing in signal processing, control systems, or communications, as well as professionals seeking to understand job prospects in these fields.

which one to choose?DSP/Commun/control/embed

hi...i have found this forum very much resource ful.
i am in a dilemma of chosing my specialization for ms (in US).I am very much interested in mathematics and also very good at especially calculus and algebra.After MS i will be looking for job which is challenging, handsome salary(hate paper work,reporting kind of work).I am also good in MATLAB simulations did 3 projects in UG.I did some research came with following options.
1.signal processing------very much interested
2.communications--------partially work experience in this field
3.control systems-----------very much interested
4.embedded systems--------no idea what is this?
5.comp architecture and comp hardware--------kinda hate it in my UG courses
6.VLSI and analog systems----------slightle interested
7.Micro electronics---------again no idea what is this word means.if its advanced form of microprocessors then interested

out of these i am much interested in siganal processing and contral systems.Embed systems i have no idea what it is?the thing i want to know is what kind of jobs these fields offering.which one to chose keeping job prospects in priority.
thanks in advance.

If signal processing and communication is your thing, you should try those things only. I would advice going against VLSI/analog/microelectronics, which will bore you.
