NC State forms NSF-Funded Center for Advanced Electronics Through Machine Learning With UIUC and Georgia Tech
August 2, 2016North Carolina State University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Georgia Tech are forming a center that aims to speed up design and verification of microelectronic circuits and systems, reducing development costs and time-to-market for manufacturers of microelectronic products, especially integrated circuits. The center is funded for five years through the National Science Foundation’s Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC) program, and by the industrial members of the center.
NC State Engineering Graduate Programs earns top ranking
July 29, 2016The Graduate Program in NC State University’s College of Engineering ranks among the nation’s top 25 graduate engineering programs by GraduatePrograms.com, a product of SR Education Group. The website’s 2016 rankings put the College’s graduate program at No. 11 nationally amongst other schools that offer graduate degrees in engineering. Rankings are determined based on student reviews and ratings submitted to the site and data used in school listings gathered from 2015-16 National Center for Education Statistics. A student reviewer posted, “The program is well designed for students from different parts of the world. It gives a thorough knowledge about the subjects. The faculty are well prepared for the subjects.”
Researchers Devise Tool to Improve Imaging of Neuronal Activity in the Brain
