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.
