Prospective Students
The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) offers a broad range of fundamental research areas in electrical engineering, computer engineering and computer science. From designing and integrating electronic and electrical systems in diverse industries such as defense, communications, transportation, manufacturing, health care, construction, power/energy, and entertainment to testing and analyzing circuit, devices, and systems to studying data structures, programming languages, and computer systems in detail, EECS offers its students real-world focused research. Progress in electrical engineering and computer science continues to be one of the critical factors driving our well being in the 21st century. It will pervade all aspects of our life including the way we live, work, learn and are entertained.
The School houses the departments of electrical engineering and computer science engineering and provides an integrated curriculum for its students who will have greater access to classes across the EECS spectrum. It also offers an improved collaboration in interdisciplinary research for undergraduates, graduates and our faculty in exciting collaborative research fields such as robotics, computer vision, cyber physical systems, machine learning and embedded systems.
