• Students explore several of the most interesting technological phenomena impacting communication today, including online communities, social media, and user-generated content, Crowdsourcing, Big Data, and data analytics, virtual and augmented reality, data mining, and others.
  • The goal is to educate students who are proficient users of these technologies, and who also possess the analytical and problem-solving skills to expand and improve on existing technologies, to help define a roadmap for the communication technologies of the future. Students work on projects where the fields of communication and engineering naturally converge, namely in the engineering of communication (e.g. the design and construction of mobile apps, online networks, social media tools, the use of technology in journalism, etc.) and the communication of engineering (e.g. public relations, public awareness, and public engagement of topics relating to science and technology).
