Diversity in Innovation

At the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering diversity and inclusion are not just ideals, but integral parts of our mission. We strive to create a welcoming environment where students, faculty, and staff from all backgrounds can thrive and contribute to a vibrant learning and research community. Diversity at ECE and engineering at large is not another checklist item, but it is crucial and necessary to ensure technologies developed are inclusive and beneficial to everyone.

Women in ECE

In 1988, the School of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology hired Bonnie Ferri as its first female faculty member. Since that time, the School has changed its name to the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), and it has changed in many other ways over the years. Among those changes are that it now has 22 women in its faculty ranks. This group of female faculty is one of the largest in any ECE unit in the United States. Their areas of interest span electrical energy, bioengineering, wireless communications, and everything in between. These are the Women of ECE at Georgia Tech.
