1. Ateneo de Manila University School of Science and Engineering Science + Engineering + Innovation The most significant breakthroughs of the 21st Century have taken place in the interface of science and engineering. The Ateneo School of Science and Engineering (SOSE) combines the strengths of science & engineering in an interdisciplinary and innovative effort to meet the challenges of globalization, sustainability, poverty, and the environment. The following graduate degree programs are being offered under the ERDT Consortium: • Department of Information Systems and Computer Science (DISCS) • DISCS offers state-of-the-art graduate programs leading to a degree in MS Computer Science and PhD in Computer Science. The department is currently focusing on the following research areas: Computational Science, Affective Computing, Pedestrian Behavior Analysis, Software Engineering, Interactive Multimedia, and Mobile Computing. DISCS is a CHED Center of Excellence. The MS Computer Science is a research-oriented program with 5 specialization tracks: Multimedia and Instructional Technology, Software Engineering, Computer Networks and Data Communications, Computer Science Theory and Information Technology. Academic requirements: 24 units course work + 6 units thesis; presentation or publication. The PhD Computer Science is designed for mastery of advanced computer science theory and applications, and independent research. Academic requirements: MS CS or equivalent; 18 units course work + 12 units dissertation; presentation and publication. • Main Research Laboratories and Facilities • Multimedia Laboratory, Specializations Laboratory, R Lab, and the Ateneo Java Wireless Competency Center. • For further information, please visit: http://discs.ateneo.edu • Or email: discs@ateneo.edu • Department of Electronics, Computer and Communications Engineering (ECCE) • The MS in Electronics Engineering degree is a research-oriented graduate program. The program is customizable to fit specific areas of interest and engagements with industrial partners and external research institutions or for the development system and devices for a technology oriented business. Most of our classes and laboratory activities are held on Saturdays, enabling flexible engagement with the thriving research ecosystem of the School of Science and Engineering and its partners. • Our students and faculty mentors are engaged in the development of technologies in many engineering areas, including microelectronics and chip design, semiconductor test and measurement, biomedical engineering, biomedical signals and imaging, sensor networks, web and mobile applications, wireless and communications networks, renewable energy systems, information and logistics systems, photogrammetry and unmanned aerial vehicles, and complex systems. The students use a variety of commercial and open source software and tools to accomplish their design goals including the Synopsis IC Design Suite, Arduino microcontrollers, Altera FPGAs, Matlab, National Instruments Labview, Solidworks, Android and OpenCV. • Academic requirements. 6 units core, 6 units Research Seminars, 3 units colloquia, 9 units electives, 6 units thesis. The students are required to have presented at least one poster or oral paper in a peer reviewed domestic or international conference. • Research Laboratories and Facilities • Mobile Wireless, IC Design and Simulation, Planet NI Virtual Instruments, Broadband Wireless and Fiber Optics, Instrumentation and Control, Industrial Robotics, Digital Signal Processing. • For further information, please email us at:ecce@admu.edu.ph or visit ohm.ecce.admu.edu.ph or main.ateneoinnovation.org. The Ateneo Innovation Center (AIC) was created in 2009 to enhance the University’s function of teaching, research and outreach by directing these toward the development of innovative Science and Technology solutions and challenges in industry and society. The ECCE department manages the Ateneo Innovation Center, which facilitates close engagement with Industry and enables the development of student and faculty run technology oriented businesses. The Ateneo Java Wireless Competency Center (AJWCC) is a research center established in 2003 to cultivate research and new product experimentation in wireless technologies .
