• Electromagnetic Fields & Waves Theory and Analysis  

• Antenna & Antenna Array Theory & Analysis  

• Digital Hardware Design

• Digital/Analog Signal Processing

• Radar & Communication System/Subsystem Analysis  

• Radar & Communication System Signal Processing  

• Embedded Software/Firmware Development 

Responsibilities:

The co-ops’ primary role is to support the full-time engineering staff with their tasks. Co-ops are given opportunities to get hands on, practical work experience to help them further excel at, appreciate, and understand the application of their college coursework. As the co-ops gain more experience and coursework they are able to take on more responsibilities and further aid the engineering staff.
