Electrical and Computer Engineering has been, and continues to be, one
of the most challenging and, at the same time, rewarding professions
of modern society. Electrical engineers continue to provide
both technology and technological leadership for developments
in numerous fields including computers, computer-aided engineering,
telecommunications, automatic control, optics, semiconductors,
nanotechnology, and energy conservation. In addition, electrical
engineers are being challenged to supply technical expertise
to support advances in many other fields such as energy management,
transportation systems, health care delivery, and public policymaking.
The Department
of Electrical and Computer Engineering, at the University
of Virginia, is one of the
eight departments in the School of Engineering and Applied
Science and offers undergraduate and graduate study programs.Fields
of research includecontrol systems, machine vision, computer
engineering, VLSI systems, communications and information
theory, digital signal processing, semiconductor and superconductor
solid-state electronics, nano electronics, millimeter wavelength
technology, pattern recognition and image processing, and
network analysis and synthesis. In addition interdisciplinary
programs are offered in collaboration with the Departments
of Systems Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science,
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Biomedical Engineering,
and Engineering Physics.
The Electrical and Computer Engineering program has established an excellent
reputation with industry as a source of outstanding engineers.
The Department faculty maintains this reputation by continually
updating curricula to reflect current scientific and technological
advances and requirements and by maintaining a vigorous research
program designed to provide staff and graduate students with
high level learning experiences relevant to the needs of our
society.
With its excellent facilities and internationally recognized faculty,
the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the
University of Virginia has become a major player in the development
of cutting-edge technology and engineering personnel for the
21st century. We hope you like what you see, and that you
will contact us with any questions or comments that you may
have.
