BSEE 2004, current Ph.D. student researching signal and image processing.
Purdue's undergraduate curriculum provides exposure to a breadth of theoretical concepts upon which the whole of electrical engineering has been built. Technology has become central to our contemporary lives, and while it continues to evolve, the importance of methods emphasized in core courses remains steadfast. Working in industry (The MITRE Corp. 2004-2006) and in my graduate research, I have found it both exciting and reassuring to identify the direct use of concepts I learned as an undergraduate in cutting-edge applications. Courses such as ECE 301 and ECE 438 cover techniques and approaches which establish signal processing while statistical modeling taught in ECE 302 is applicable well beyond engineering applications. These general ideas, invaluable today, are sure to be equally significant to the technology of tomorrow.
