Summary: Took some introductory courses in my BS, but was not an EE major. What's the standard pipeline for EE with a focus in signals analysis?
Mods, my apologies if this is the wrong board for this post. Please feel free to delete or move if that's the case.
My undergraduate degree was a BS in Cyber Operations, which is basically CS with instructors from the NSA. I had the standard courses in Intro to EE, Signals Analysis, Microsystem Controllers, and math up to Calc 3 (I now regret not pushing for Diff Eq or Linear Algebra). My research pulled almost entirely from self study and focused on collecting emanations from PS2 and USB keyboards for translation. I've continued with the theme of self study over the past few years, but have mostly focused on the programming side of the house and now need to get back to the applied sciences theme.
Someone must have a sense of humor, because I've been submitted by the Navy as a candidate for a PhD EE, without a proper background, and I've got roughly a year to get up to speed. What is the standard pipeline that y'all went through when you were working on your BS' and MS'? Do y'all have recommendations on how to proceed? I'm very familiar with the offerings through OCW, EdX, and Coursera and have started some work on Power Electronics, but I'm quickly realizing how behind the ball I am.
I appreciate y'all's help and look forward to annoying y'all with questions in the future.
