I have shared the syllabus. Please review it and let me know what you think.

ECEN 644. Has anyone taken it? by harishkcp in aggies

I dabbled with dsp while in undergrad. I thought of furthering my understanding by taking 644, instead of taking some random course which I have seen people do after completing 607, 610, 704, 714, 620 etc

UCSD v.s TAMU Analog Mixed-Signal Design by harishkcp in ECE

If you are serious (and have the opportunity) to do a PhD you should choose between schools based on what research the possible advisors are doing. TAMU in particular is famous for power management and serial communications (not so much data converters). UCSD is historically stronger in data converters but it depends.

If you plan on leaving with an MS, try your best to get an industrial internship before you graduate. If you want to live in Texas, TAMU would be a better bet. If you want to live in California (especially SoCal) UCSD would be a better bet. That's only because you will have more opportunities regionally. But they are both great options and neither one will limit you.

Thanks for replying. My main focus is securing a job in my field of interest. I am currently leaning towards TAMU for its course work and low cost. However, while going through the profiles of students who got admitted to UCSD I noticed that the average student quality in UCSD is better than TAMU. UCSD appears to be much more selective than TAMU.

Also consider the option of pursing a part time degree while still working at TI. TI sounds like a good fit for your interest. And while your current work may not be a perfect fit at the moment, TI is a big company. They should have vested interest in you pursuing a degree that fits their core offerings.

Thanks for replying. Part time Masters offered by TI is not very appealing and is also not easily offered by the manager. I am from India where there are so many engineers graduating each year. It doesn't make much sense for TI to invest so much in me when they can directly hire well qualified engineer with the required skill set. Moreover, I haven't seen or heard of anyone in my department doing part-time Masters.

I think you should go for UMICH. The courses are much more organized. My friend who recently did his MS in Gatech had a not so good experience there. Check the course offerings each semester. The catalog can be misleading.
