ECE Department

    The work we do here at the University of Arizona’s Electrical and Computer Engineering Department is innovative, impactful, and pragmatic, with the aim of having tangible impact on revenues, business process improvement, medical advances, and other societal benefits. With ABET-accredited undergraduate programs in both Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering, our curriculum is built around a systems approach to engineering design, while emphasizing communication and teamwork as critical skills for the modern professional. To support this activity, the ECE Building currently houses 4 centers and over 40 research and teaching labs. We possess excellent physical infrastructure, including a state-of-the- art computer classroom called the Integrated Information Technology Laboratory (IITL) that allows our Faculty an excellent venue for demonstrating, explaining, and teaching students how best to understand and utilize complex software tools and environments.
    UA’s ECE Department continues to be a national thought leader in teaching innovation. While new courses are regularly introduced into both the undergraduate and graduate curricula to keep pace with emerging technologies, our efforts to produce capable, world-class engineers goes deeper than that. For example, over the past five years the Department has imbedded a formal writing assessment process into its undergraduate curriculum. Fostered by faculty attuned to ways to encourage the uses of writing as part of their course requirements, this effort has led to measurably enhanced writing ability for our engineering graduates.
