NarayananThe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers programs for graduate study leadingto the research-oriented Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees and to the professionalMaster of Engineering degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Courses in the departmentmay also be applied to the interdisciplinary Doctor of Engineering degree. The MS and PhD programsprovide specialization in-depth and include a research (thesis or dissertation) requirement. The MEngand DEng programs are designed to provide the depth and breadth necessary for the practice of engineeringat advanced levels.Current areas of study include analog and mixed signal, biomedical imaging and genomic signal processing,computer engineering, electromagnetic and microwaves, electric power and power electronics,solid state electronics, photonics and nano-engineering, telecommunications, signal processing andcontrols. Interdisciplinary engineering programs are available in other areas.Well equipped laboratories are available for work in all of these areas. Special laboratory facilitiesare available to graduate students in telecommunications, solid-state electronics, integrated circuit design,electromagnetics, microwave microelectronics, electrotropics, computer vision and electric powersystems. The department has many workstations and high end PCs in general access laboratories andexcellent computing facilities available in the individual research laboratories. The workstations aresupported by a large Sun fileservers and two computational servers, and the PCs are supported by aNovell network.There is no foreign language requirement for the PhD or DEng programs in electrical and computerengineering.Electrical and Computer Engineering(ECEN)600.
