A Message from the Dean

Engineering has never played a more

crucial role in shaping society and culture. Fueled by technological advances, the

profession is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Information and other technologies have leveled the global playing field. Rising economies world-wide are impacting natural resources, human capital, wages and the environ-ment. The USC Viterbi School prepares tomorrow’s engineers to meet these profound challenges. Our faculty,

students, alumni and unparalleled

national research centers in critical

technologies are united in pursuing this objective, with interdisciplinary work and partnerships that span the globe.I invite you to explore the exciting

things that are happening here.

Learning

Fully Interdisciplinary Environment The USC Viterbi School of Engineering offers over

50 Master’s degree options, ranging from broad areas (Mechanical Engineering,

Computer Science) to niche programs in Smart Oilfield Technologies, Medical Device &

Diagnostic Engineering, Game Development, Green Technologies, and Health Systems

Management Engineering.

Collaboration among the Viterbi School’s eight departments, as well as with the entire

university—including the School of Policy, Planning and Development, the Annenberg School

for Communication, the Marshall School of Business, and the Keck School of Medicine—enables

Viterbi students to enjoy all the advantages of a first-class research institution.

Here are just a few examples of the types of interdisciplinary work our faculty is pursuing:

?S hri Narayanan is a professor in the USC Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical

Engineering, with joint appointments in Computer Science, Linguistics and

Psychology. His research involves multimedia integration of speech processing

technology and spoken language science. Among his projects are voice-to-voice

speech translation, educational toys that employ speech recognition and produc-

tion, and answering system devices that detect irritation in callers’ voices.

?E laine Chew, associate professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering—and a

distinguished concert pianist—teaches Computational Modeling of Expressive

Performance, which involves the fields of music, psychology, neuroscience and

mathematics, as well as computer science, bioengineering and electrical engineer-

ing. Chew’s Expression Synthesis Project (ESP) allows anyone who can drive to

perform a piece of music.

?G erald Loeb, a physician and deputy director of the USC Biomimetic

MicroElectronic Systems Research Center, is the inventor of BIONs?, tiny inject-

able neurostimulators that can activate weak or paralyzed muscles.

BIONs are being used to treat complications of stroke, such as shoulder

subluxation and hand contractions.

The Viterbi School Distance Education Network’s unique and cutting-edge facilities and technologies enable classroom lecture capture and interactivity support, allowing students inside and outside the classroom to learn and collaborate with each other to enhance their learning experience.

The Viterbi School boasts an impressive distance education program, utilizing the latest technology to deliver graduate courses online. Students interested in earning their master’s degree while working full-time may find this delivery method a convenient option: Over 80 percent of the Viterbi School’s M.S. programs are available without on-campus attendance. Distance students receive the same curriculum, lectures, homework, and of course, diploma as their on-campus counterparts.

For over 35 years, the Viterbi School’s Distance Education Network has enabled thousands of engineers to earn their Master’s degree without attending class on campus. In addition, non-credit and short courses are offered via this innovative online delivery method.

How it works

?L ectures: The Viterbi School uses an online delivery system that enables students around the coun-try to access classes live, on-demand or by download. Lectures taking place on campus are webcast for off-campus students.

?I nteractive: Live instruction is highly interactive and students have access to web-based tools

for communicating with professors and fellow students both in and outside of class.

?H omework and Exams: Homework is submitted electronically and exams are proctored at testing centers near the student’s home or work.
