Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Welcome to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of the District of Columbia. This is the most opportune time to start your career as an electrical engineer or a computer engineer! The job market in these fields is great and growing; our graduates have received many strong offers from prominent companies like IBM, Northrop Grumman, Verizon, PEPCO and many other exciting and innovative technology, energy-related, and consulting businesses in the Washington Metropolitan area, around the US, and overseas. Many of our graduating seniors have been accepted to top graduate programs in electrical engineering, physics, mathematics, and medicine.

The Department strives for continuous improvement, and we continue to update the Department's undergraduate curriculum. The department has just instituted a new Master's Degree program in electrical engineering to better meet the needs of today's students and tomorrow's practicing engineers, as well as for students who want a strong technical background as preparation for a career in engineering.

ECE offers an ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering with an option in computer engineering.

Our department is a dynamic and growing community of scholars active in most of the principal areas of our field. Our faculty members are diverse and participate in many interdisciplinary initiatives. Faculty research interests include embedded systems, renewable energy, digital communications, medical image processing, material science and artificial intelligence. As you navigate through the department's web page, you will see why I am excited about the future of our department.
