Intelligent Information Engineering Major

Overview

The major in Intelligent Information Engineering builds on foundations in mathematics, electrical engineering and basic computer and software engineering principles. The focus of this major is in understanding the lifecycle of information including information generation, information communication and intelligent information/signal processing behind various advanced applications such as: image and video recognition, speech recognition, multimedia signal processing and sensor array processing.

This new major will cover the three key aspects (generation, communication, processing) of IIE by combining the study of telecommunications, electrical, computer and software engineering, with an emphasis on intelligent information processing technologies and its application to the areas such as speech recognition and processing and image/video recognition and processing.

This major best aligns with the Electrical or Software stream.
