Welcome to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering!
Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) is a broad discipline involved in creating many of the computing and communication systems that are revolutionizing the world in which we live. What makes this field so exciting is that the sciences on which it is based — physics, mathematics, and computer science — are themselves expanding at a great rate. New discoveries in physical phenomena and algorithms are enabling higher performance systems, as well as totally new engineering applications. The penetration of technology into our lives is also changing the nature of the engineering profession, creating more opportunities — and more social responsibility.
