Master of Science in Information and Computer Science
with a Concentration in Embedded Systems

offered in part in Naples, Italy

University of California Irvine offers a Master of Science (M.S.) degree program in Information and Computer Science with a concentration in Embedded Systems. The goal of the program is to prepare students for challenges in developing future embedded systems. These future systems will further integrate communications, multimedia, and advanced processors with complex embedded and real-time software for automotive, medical, telecommunications, and many other application domains. Furthermore, embedded systems are becoming parallel, deploying multiprocessor systems on-a-chip and parallel application software. An in-depth knowledge of the underlying scientific and engineering principles is required to understand these advances and to productively contribute to development of such systems. This program helps students master embedded system fundamentals, advanced computer architecture and compilers, networking, security, embedded, parallel and distributed software, and computer graphics in a sequence of courses and labs. Students also complete a large embedded systems project and a Master's thesis.
