Welcome to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Our faculty and students are engaged in exciting innovation in the areas of wireless communications, computer systems and software engineering, information processing and systems, micro- and nano-electronics, next generation internet architectures, cyber security and so much more.
Our research is expansive across the field of electrical and computer engineering and actively supported by the major funding organizations. Broad areas of research include communications, networking and information processing; computing, software engineering, and solid state electronics; machine learning, artificial intelligence, and robotics; and smart health and bio-electrical engineering.
The department also features state-of-art facilities and equipment for advanced computing and experimentation.
Students actively participate in research alongside faculty members, with opportunities for undergraduates to co-author published research papers and contribute to exciting discoveries.
