Students working together at a Hackathon

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Nearly every EECS course is taught by one of our award-winning faculty members, not a teaching assistant. Thirteen computer labs and nine hardware labs provide our students with ample resources to achieve their academic goals. EECS graduates have aquired positions at a wide range of companies, government agencies, and research institutions, including Fortune 500 companies such as Garmin, T-mobile, Honeywell, and Northrop-Grumman.
