Latest Department News
Prof. Waheed Bajwa has been elevated to IEEE Fellow for his contributions to compressed sensing, communications, and machine learning in distributed systems, effective 1 January 2025.
Recognizing the achievements of its members is an important part of the mission of IEEE. Each year, following a rigorous evaluation procedure, the IEEE Fellow Committee recommends a select group of recipients for elevation to IEEE Fellow. Less than 0.1% of voting members are selected annually for this member grade elevation.
Congratulations to Waheed on this well-deserved achievement!
After 18 months of dedicated preparation, the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department has successfully met the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) criteria once again. ABET evaluations occur every six years, ensuring the highest standards of engineering education. This achievement reflects the department's commitment to continuous improvement and excellence in engineering education.
