Computer Engineering Technical Interest Group

Computers pervade virtually every aspect of our lives, and the field of computer engineering is moving to the forefront of our increasingly technology driven world. The Computer Engineering faculty in the School of ECE is widely recognized for their expertise and leadership in all aspects of this computer engineering, from microelectronics technology to engineering software development.

Industry and government support for the Computer Engineering Group’s academic and research programs enable students and faculty to remain on the leading edge of technological advances in this dynamic field. Students emerge from the program with an integrated base of knowledge in a broad cross section of computing disciplines and are highly recruited by the nation’s top high tech corporations.

Virtually all of computer engineering PhD students receive funding support either through teaching assistantships, or research assistantships.

Research

The computer engineering faculty and graduate students are involved in a broad range of basic and applied research programs, which are supported by government and industry sponsors. Major sponsors include the National Science Foundation, DARPA, and the U.S. Army. Industrial sponsors include Honeywell Inc., BellSouth, and ALCATEL-TELECOM.

Computer Engineering research falls within the following major areas:

• Computer Architecture
• Embedded Systems and Software
• Design Tools, Test and Verification
• Computer Networks and Internetworking
• Distributed Systems and Software
• VLSI Design

Academics

The depth and breadth of faculty expertise in all areas of computer engineering is reflected in the curriculum, which provides students with three tracks of study: Circuits and Devices, Computer Systems, and Engineering Software Systems.
