An educational program for engineering careers in analog and mixed-signal electronic design

The analog and mixed-signal (AMX) BS/MS dual degree program in electrical engineering at RIT introduces the student to a broad range of subject material considered essential for a career in analog circuit design. It emphasizes the actual design and fabrication of complex analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. Digital and analog signal processing principles are presented in a coordinated design environment. This paper outlines logical objectives of an educational program for analog and mixed-signal engineering, describes the AMX program that was launched in the Fall 2004, and discusses planned improvements.
