About ECE Illinois
ECE Welcome
The ECE Department has built an international reputation for excellence in teaching, research, and service. What makes ECE the best electrical and computer engineering program in the world?
Faculty. Our faculty has produced innovations in microelectronics, semiconductors, telecommunications, photonics, image and signal processing, electromagnetics, computer architecture and circuits, and bioengineering, to name a few. With over 100 members specializing in fields ranging from power economics to Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), our students are exposed to an unmatched breadth and depth of expertise.
Education. Our students learn from the best in the classroom and in the laboratory. Hands-on instruction is a core component of an electrical and computer engineering education at Illinois.
Research. Closely aligned with the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, Coordinated Science Laboratory, Micro Nanotechnology Laboratory, and the Materials Research Laboratory, ECE faculty supervise hundreds of graduate students who conduct research culminating in approximately 100 MS and 50 PhD degrees annually. Research expenditures are $26.5 million each year.
Our undergraduates have unique opportunities to participate in this cutting-edge research. These research opportunities supplement our outstanding undergraduate instructional laboratories.
This Web site is an excellent resource for any student considering a degree in electrical or computer engineering. If you would like to schedule a visit to Illinois, or for more information, please contact us.
