There are a wide variety of courses offered at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for students interested in remote sensing and space sciences. Depending on what aspect you are interested in (optics, radio, signal/image processing, etc.), you will want to take a different set of courses. We suggest talking with one of the RSSS faculty as well as your faculty advisor when deciding on courses that will best fit your interests. Below are a listing of specific courses that have been offered by our faculty and others in the electrical and computer engineering curriculum that students in this area find useful. Additional courses can be found on the ECE webpage.
