Welcome to The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Dr. Mitra Dutta, ECE Head

The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of the University of Illinois at Chicago welcomes you to its web site. We hope that these pages will provide a starting point to the information about the department, faculty, staff and students. We welcome prospective students, friends and colleagues to browse through the information that is provided here and to contact or visit us for more information.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers Bachelor of Science, Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy Degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering.

 

We are a Department of about 30 faculty, over 700 undergraduate and over 200 graduate students. The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department is very new, having been created in July of 2001 from the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department.

However, the origin of the department has its roots in the Department of Information Engineering which existed at the start of the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1965 and eventually evolved into the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department in 1982.

This new structure is providing an opportunity for the development and enhancement of the research and teaching programs in the areas of Electrical and Computer Engineering. It is particularly exciting to have this new start coinciding with the start of the new century, yet we offer a mature and diverse program with nearly 30 experienced faculty members. Our broad and multidisciplinary thrusts will prove to be a huge growth opportunity for us in the 21st Century.

We are proud that nearly half our faculty are Fellows of the IEEE ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) and many are also Fellows of other peer societies. We are also particularly pleased to note that a number of our faculty members have received the prestigious CAREER awards from the National Science Foundation. The different research areas of our faculty are outlined in the following pages as are the research centers that exist in the department.

Thank you for visiting the UIC ECE website. We hope you will find it interesting and informative. Please contact us if you have questions or comments.
