| Name: | PCC Proposal to Establish a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Computing Systems |
| Proposed: | 08/21/2017 |
| Sponsor: | PCC Committee |
| Proposal: | The A. James Clark School of Engineering and Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering propose to establish a 12-credit Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Computing Systems. This certificate program will be for students who are enrolled in the Master of Science in Telecommunications program. Computing systems have become ubiquitous and relied upon every day for work, communication, and entertainment. Smart phones, tablets, and wireless access points all contain small embedded computing systems that run software and firmware. Consequently, our society needs professionals who both understand communication technologies and protocols and have the skills to implement and test those technologies in various embedded computing devices. |
