The Field

Electrical and computer engineering is a profession that employs principles of computation, mathematics, and physics to the areas of computer systems, electronics, electromagnetics,  networks,  semiconductor devices, and signals and systems theory to solve a vast array of technical problems. Electrical and computer engineers discover, design, analyze, build and test the technology of the future in such areas as computer architecture, embedded systems, micro- and nano-electronics, microwave engineering, and wireless communication networks.
