Intelligent Systems Concentration focuses on modern methodologies such
as fuzzy systems, neural networks, genetic programming, and expert systems.
The content of the concentration may also be referred to as artificial intelligence,
soft computing, or computational intelligence. Application areas for these
new engineering methodologies range from industrial process control, fault
diagnosis, and smart appliances to speech recognition, planning under uncertainty,
signal processing, decision-making, and classification.
Concentration Requirements
Requirements for the Intelligent Systems Concentration include course
work and project work. A certificate is awarded to students who have completed
the requirements with a 3.0 average or better. The project course, ECE 9090
Electrical or Computer Engineering Projects, is required. Four courses from
the following list are also required.
Additional Required Courses:
Depending on the topics,
ECE 8429 - Topics in Intel Systems
, may be taken with permission more than once. The project course must be
taken after completing four of the above courses. It is recommended that
the project course combine the techniques of intelligent systems with another
specialty area. For additional information on this concentration, contact
Dr. Anthony Zygmont, at 610-519-7099 or by email to:anthony.zygmont@villanova.edu.
