Welcome to the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering

The Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) offers a world-class education and conducts innovative research at the forefront of evolving technologies like computer hardware development, software creation, electronic and photonic devices, and emerging communication systems. With a renowned faculty, interdisciplinary research focus, cutting-edge facilities, and diverse student body, ECE is at the forefront of the technological breakthroughs that are shaping the future.
Research activities in ECE are broadly classified into three primary areas: Electro-Physics, Information Systems and Sciences, and Computer Engineering. Each area has distinct, faculty-centered groups. The boundaries between these groups are not sharp, and interaction and cross-fertilization are encouraged and common.
In addition to rigorous class work, ECE degree programs encourage students to pursue hands-on research under the guidance of our accomplished faculty and in cooperation with University-wide centers and cross-disciplinary collaborations. This combination of practical and theoretical education ensures a breadth of experience in innovative problem solving and exploration that will prepare them for wide-range of interdisciplinary engineering careers.
