About the minor
Intended learning outcomes
The purpose of the minor is to provide the students with basics of modern Signal Processing and Data Science and the ability to apply those in various fields of science and technology. You'll learn to extract useful information, discover patterns, and make predictions from large amounts of signal or data, especially involving physical sensors and systems, like communication systems or energy distribution networks. You will be able to formalize problems in signal processing in terms of mathematical and statistical models and design and choose computational algorithms to efficiently solve them.
