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.

We had a very successful ECE Capstone EXPO yesterday with 53 teams presenting their capstone projects. A panel of 45 judges from industry and academia joined us to select the top projects. In addition, three award in the categories of best in research, best in impact and best in commercialization were given and the three teams with the highest combined score in these categories were awarded the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place Galbiati Entrepreneurial Awards.
