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, software systems, embedded system firmware and hardware, micro- and nano-electronics, microwave engineering (radar and antennas), machine learning, and computer and wireless communication networks.
