The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers diverse educational programs that encompass nearly all aspects of modern electrical and computer engineering, ranging from the very theoretical system and information theory, to highly experimental work in novel device research and microelectronics. Emphases in the major are solid state and physical electronics, surface physics, thin films, sputtering, noise and fluctuation phenomena, quantum electronics, plasma physics, automation, power systems and power electronics theory, wave propagation, communication systems and theory, optics, lasers, fiber optics, magnetism, semiconductor properties and devices, VLSI and WSI engineering in theory and practice, network theory, signal and image processing, and computer and systems engineering. Interdisciplinary work is also available in bioelectrical sciences, control sciences, computer sciences, solar energy, applications of systems theory to urban transportation and economic planning, and biological modeling.
