ECEE Highlights:
2020 to the Present
Message from our director
Our faculty, students and staff have redoubled their collaborative efforts to strengthen and grow the programs in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering. In the past few years, we have grown our faculty expertise and research efforts in energy and more recently, in microelectronics and semiconductors, to become an international hub for these areas.
Our primary focus is the education of students who are important contributors to our research. Our academic programs have grown significantly from about 1,200 students a decade ago to more than 3,600 in the Fall 2022 semester, including more than 280 doctoral students. Our sponsored research expenditures remain strong, exceeding $30 million for the past four years.
Our recognition includes U.S. News & World Report ranks of No. 34 for our electrical engineering graduate program and No. 20 for our undergraduate program in 2022. The online delivery method of our electrical engineering graduate program achieved a No. 2 ranking in 2023. This online mode has enabled an unprecedented tripling in undergraduate enrollment to more than 2,500 in a decade. Leveraging technology to provide innovations in our academic programs further improves the student experience.
We continue to accelerate our progress through aggressive faculty hiring. The extraordinary efforts of our dedicated faculty, staff and students drive the success of our school. Our programs and school have a bright future.
