hermann bautzmann (Alum)
Great engineering school
UCONN has a very diverse Electrical & Computer Science curriculum. I was able to take advance digital hardware and software courses. Such as digital filters, digital control systems, and electrical chip design. These prepared me well for starting my aerospace career (1980) in microprocessor hardware and software design where I was able to start in digital circuit design, code all of firmware associated with those designs, and completing the system integration of said designs. I finished my career as a Chief Engineer for Raytheon corporation
hermann bautzmann strongly recommends the school.
