Electrical & Computer Engineering
We live in a world dominated by electronic devices that impact all aspects of human endeavor--from communications and computers to defense and medical technologies. With innovations that progress from concept to production in a matter of months, or even weeks, electrical and computer engineering is arguably the fastest growing and broadest of all technical fields. With a history that dates back more than 100 years and a record of faculty research accomplishments that began before the turn of the 20th century, WPI's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is known for its innovative approaches to undergraduate electrical engineering education. Its programs produce tomorrow's leaders of this dynamic, complex and competitive field.
Whether you're interested in information technology, computer design, personal and wireless communications, robotics, imaging technologies, electric power generation or transmission, or mechanical/electrical interfaces, WPI's integrated, flexible, project-based ECE curriculum will provide you with the education and the skills you need to succeed in your career or in graduate school.
