与固态电子学，电磁学和光学学有关的课程和研究计划，从对固体中基本电子过程的研究到对产生有用器件的机理的描述到对设计仿真和半导体制造的研究，不一而足器件和集成电路。计划的科学兴趣集中在光电子设备和系统的物理和技术上。在过去的几年中，主要精力集中在新型半导体激光器和探测器的设计和开发上。此外，该部门在开发相干光处理器，光纤传感器和集成光纤方面进行了大量的实验工作。电气和计算机工程领域正处于非凡的发展时期，由于新技术和成本的降低，新的应用领域和期望值也在不断提高。工程与应用科学学院的电气与计算机工程系从事这些领
The program of courses and of research pertinent to solid-state electronics, electromagnetics and optics ranges from a study of the fundamental electronic processes in solids through a description of the mechanism which yield useful devices to a study of the design simulation, and fabrication of semiconductor devices and integrated circuits. Program's scientific interests center on physics and technology of optoelectronic devices and systems. Over the past several years, major efforts were focused on the design and development of the novel semiconductor lasers and detectors. Additionally, the department has a strong experimental effort on the development of coherent optical processors, fiber optic sensors and integrated fiber optics. The fields of electrical and computer engineering are in an extraordinary period of growth, new application areas and increased expectations are accelerating due to new technologies and decreased costs. The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, is involved in graduate teaching and research in many of these areas, including communications and signal processing, networking, computer engineering, semiconductor devices and quantum electronics, circuits and VLSI. The department has laboratories devoted to research and advanced teaching in the following areas: computing, engineering design methodology, high-performance computing and networking, parallel and neural processing, machine vision, fiber optic sensors and computer graphics, micro and optoelectronics, VLSI, telerobotics, DNA sequencing, digital signal processing, and communications. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers graduate programs leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Graduate programs are tailored to the needs of each student to provide a strong analytical background helpful to the study of advanced engineering problems. Ample opportunities exist for students to initiate independent study and to become involved in active research programs, both experimental and theoretical.
