Overview
About the Program
Coursework includes eleven foundational courses with lectures and laboratory, and two project courses leading to a final project. Courses emphasize embedded systems: hardware and software, sensor networks, real-time systems, AI, machine learning, security, control and entrepreneurship. To earn the degree, students must complete 48 units including a capstone project. Courses are offered in technology-enhanced form.
Custom Designed
The Embedded and Cyber-physical Systems program of the University of California, Irvine (UCI) was designed by a group of faculty from the Henry Samueli School of Engineering (HSSoE) and the Donald Bren School of Information & Computer Science (DBSICS). The curriculum focuses on Embedded and Cyber-physical Systems.
Embedded systems are now entrenched into almost every aspect of our daily life, rivaling in ubiquity anything that exists today. Currently, we have tools to help us design embedded systems, making good use of available technologies at a variety of levels and scales, from hardware to interface, operating system, middleware, and software. The MECPS program is designed to integrate all of these aspects.
Career Driven
It is predicted that by 2020-2025 anywhere from 20 to 200 billion devices will connect our homes, buildings, factories, cars, transportation infrastructure, and even our bodies to the Internet. This represents close to 30 devices for every living human! It is expected that the economy of Embedded & Cyber-Physical Systems (ECPS) and affiliated industries, or what is now referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT) will exceed $6-14 Trillion into the next decade. These numbers give us confidence that graduates who are trained in this domain will be capable of significantly contributing to the engineering community.
