Electrical & Computer Engineering

Opportunities for graduate study leading to the degrees of Master of Science, Master of Engineering, and Doctor of Philosophy are available in the areas of automatic controls; digital systems; pattern recognition and image processing; design automation; solid state electronics; communications systems; network analysis and synthesis; microwave systems; electro-optic systems; and system modeling.

A part-time program is available which offers an employed engineer the opportunity to work toward a master’s degree while requiring a minimum of absence from work. It is designed so that over a three-year period, a minimum of two-thirds, and possibly all, of the master’s degree requirements may be completed through course work taken in the late afternoon. These courses are also available to those who wish to increase their knowledge of electrical engineering but do not wish to enroll in a formal degree program. Areas of study include: automatic controls and robotics; computer engineering and digital systems; communication systems; solid state materials and devices; pattern recognition and machine vision; microwave system; opto-electronics; and signal processing.

Research within the Department of Electrical Engineering is conducted primarily in two laboratories and a center: the Applied Electrophysics Laboratories (AEpL), the Communications, Controls, and Signal Processing Laboratory (CCSP), and the Center for Semicustom Integrated Systems (CSIS).
