The curriculum provides an emphasis toward engineering concepts and designs in the varied and rapidly expanding disciplines within the field of electrical and computer engineering. Students, with the counsel and guidance of faculty, student advisor, and graduate coordinator, choose their elective program around their own special interests from a broad range of electives in such fields as: Circuits, Electronics and Electronic Materials; Communications and Electromagnetics; Computer Engineering; Digital Signal Processing and Biomedical Electronics; Power Systems; Solid State Devices; and Systems and Control.
These study areas are supported by 12 research centers and laboratories and 9 teaching laboratories (see the provided list). Our faculty continuously seeks funding to advance their research interests, upgrade or create new labs, and provide support for our graduate and undergraduate students.
