Electrical and Computer Engineering

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has a long tradition of excellence in teaching and research, starting with the inception of the Electrical Engineering program at "Brooklyn Poly" in 1885. The department rose to prominence in the mid-twentieth century for work in microwaves, communications, electrical machinery, and automatic control. Current research and degree programs focus on:

  • telecommunications (including wireless and high-speed networks)
  • digital signal processing (including still and video image processing)
  • control and robotics
  • electric power systems and power electronics
  • electromagnetics and microwaves
  • electrophysics of materials (especially plasmas)
  • computer engineering (secure hardware design, nanoelectronic devices, circuits, architectures and CAD)...read more
