Course summary
The disciplines concerned with representing, storing, interpreting, and transmitting information in systems of finite capacity in the presence of interference and noise; with extracting information from speech, image, video, radar, sonar, and medical data signals; and with using information, including feedback information comparing actual and desired system states, for controlling, shaping and stabilizing system performance in the presence of noise, delay, and inertia. Applications include telecommunications, intra- and inter-system communications, remote sensing, imaging, robotics, feed-back stabilized electronics, and the remote control of electro-mechanical systems, both large and small.
Program modules
The following are the modules: ECE 141 Linear Control Systems (Sp; Su) [ECE 54L], ECE 180 Fundamentals of Digital Signal Processing (F) [ECE 54L and one of STA 113, MATH 135 or ECE 255], ECE 184 Introduction to Digital Communication Systems (Sp) [ECE 54L and one of STA 113, MATH 135 or ECE 255], ECE 189 Digital Image and Multidimensional Signal Processing (Sp) [ECE 54L and one of STA 113, MATH 135 or ECE 255 or permission of instructor], ECE 195 Biological Signal Processing (F09) [ECE 54L; one of STA 113, MATH 135 or ECE 255; and BIOLOGY 25L or 147; or permission of the instructor].
Entry requirement for international students
Applicants for admission must complete either the College Board Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) or the test of the American College Program (ACT). Applicants taking the SAT should take the three-part SAT Reasoning Test plus two SAT subject tests. Applicants to the Pratt School of Engineering must take one SAT Subject Test in mathematics. Applicants who choose to take the ACT should plan to take the ACT with the new writing portion. A minimum score of 100 on the internet-based TOEFL (iBT) or 250 on the computer-based TOEFL (CBT) or 600 on the paper-based TOEFL (PBT) or an overall band score of 7 on the IELTS is expected for all applicants to Duke.
Duke University accepts IELTS*
