New Connected Embedded Systems Software Engineering Master's Degree

[Edward Katz]

Carnegie Mellon University’s Silicon Valley campus (CMU-SV) is now offering a new concentration in Connected Embedded Systems as part of its Software Engineering masters degree program. The concentration, which focuses on the fusion of hardware and software as it relates to cloud-based sensor networks, will only be available to full-time students.

The Internet of Things includes sensors, actuators and the fusion of the cyber and physical worlds. Students will learn to not only build sensor-laden devices but also how those devices connect to each other and to cloud services. The new concentration is ideally suited to those who have a background in both software and hardware and are interested in the intersection of the two. They will also want to be leaders in this cutting-edge space, contributing to the building of the Internet of Things.

Students will have the opportunity to pursue research and practicum projects in the following areas: ultra low-power computing, wireless sensor networks, sensor data fusion, sensor platforms, network operating systems, distributed computing and low power computer vision.
