Consortium for Embedded Systems (CES)
NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center
Director at the SIUC-site: Sppyros Tragoudas, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering
Overview
The Consortium for Embedded Systems (CES) will be a joint undertaking of the
College of Engineering of Southern Illinois University Carbondale and the
Fulton School of Engineering of Arizona State University. It is funded by the National Science Foundation and Industrial members.
CES will be a Center of Excellence in the field of Embedded Systems. Excellence includes maintaining a very high quality research program, educating and training graduate and undergraduate students for absorption into Nation's industry, and contributing to the success of its industrial partners through knowledge and technology transfer.
Benefits of Membership
Internship program with the following benefits: (a) Access to academically outstanding engineering students across two universities. (b) The opportunity to employ highly talented international students without the overhead of visa administration and management. (c) Interns will be employed by universities but will be able to work at the member site. (d) Interns will be hired at a lower cost as industry members will not be required to provide benefits. (e) Recruiting advantage by developing relationships with interns at an early stage. (f) Opportunity to select the best candidates for permanent employment.
Industry-Relevant and Broad Research Base: The Consortium brings together faculty and students (MS & PhD) from Electrical, Computer Engineering and Computer science disciplines at the two participating Departments, providing a broad range of research expertise to all members. Two-university collaboration will allow industrial sponsors to access research results in every aspect of embedded systems design.
Thrust Research Areas include: Special-purpose Embedded Microelectronics and Computer-based Systems, Mobile and Networked (Cyber-physical) Embedded Systems, Processor Design for Manufacturability, Power and Energy Management, Hardware/Software for Embedded Processors, Testing and Fault Tolerance. The breadth of the Consortium's research program reflects the diverse needs of the microelectronics and computer industry and its program is kept current through close interaction with its industrial partners. The consortium will provide with an excellent opportunity for carrying out pre-competitive or exploratory research. The base membership will permit member directed research or curriculum project. |
