In response to the demand for qualified engineers in the
wireless-networking community, the Wireless Information Network is
offering a Certificate in Wireless Communications.
The program
provides a background in telecommunications combined with specialized
instruction in wireless communications. The curriculum is flexible to
meet individuals' different educational needs. Some may wish to take
the two electives as preparation for the two required courses, while
others will take the electives for more specialized training. The
graduate courses are applied toward advanced-degree programs, subject
to the program's requirements. Participating faculty are drawn from
members of the graduate faculty in electrical engineering.
WINLAB is an industry/university collaborative venture aimed at
furthering the interests of the wireless networking community. Its
activities include research, technology evaluation, and education. The
Rutgers Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers
education in wireless networking at the bachelor's, master's, and Ph.D.
levels. A student pursuing an advanced degree will be admitted to the
certificate program upon approval of the director. Four courses with a
minimum GPA of 3.0 are required for the certificate.
