Program Facilitation

Welcome to the New Engineering Laboratory Building (ELB) project that is underway on the University of Michigan-Dearborn campus.

The College of Engineering and Computer Science at University of Michigan-Dearborn offers bachelor's, master’s and doctoral degree programs as well as undergraduate and graduate certificate programs. Our programs are taught by faculty who lead classroom discussion and work with industry partners geared toward solving the challenges of the ever-changing global economy.

ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), which is responsible for administering the Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering programs, has about 325 students enrolled in the sophomore through senior years. Each year approximately 60 - 70 students graduate with a Bachelor's degree in EE/CE and about 20 students graduate with a master's degree in EE/CE.

We are proud of our high retention rate which exceeds 60%. While most of the graduates go on to work in industry often in a design and development environment, a few pursue full-time graduate studies at regional and national universities.

Engineering Real-World Solutions

Our programs are taught primarily by PhD. faculty dedicated to teaching and research. Some courses are taught by experts from local industry. ECE Programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org/.

The ECE Department currently offers three bachelor (BSE) programs in Computer Engineering (CE), Electrical Engineering (EE), and Robotics Engineering (RE), as well as a dual degree in CE/EE.

Computer Engineering-CE deals with design of hardware such as microprocessors, digital circuits and networks and software such as data structures, programming languages and intelligent systems. Computer engineers have the ability to design special purpose hardware and software for specific engineering applications such as robotics, ignition control in an automobile, and software for machine learning and intelligence. Computer engineers are well trained in electronic circuit design.

Electrical Engineering-EE deals with the controlled application of electricity to the solution of real problems. This includes such things as motors, transistors, integrated circuits, and lasers as well as larger physical systems for which these are components: electrical power generating and distribution systems, communication networks, and computers. It is also concerned with the flow of electricity in the human body and with the transmission of signals between planets.

Robotics Engineering-RE with recent advances in computer hardware and software, as well as 3D printing, the field of robotics is entering a new phase where robots are smaller, faster, cheaper, and smarter. These next generation robots will have applications in a wide variety of fields, including manufacturing, medicine, education, entertainment, military applications, etc

The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department has strong graduate degree programs in several areas of engineering, including MSE (Masters in Science in Engineering) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Energy Systems Engineering, and Robotics. Our faculty and existing graduate students are passionate about research and aspire to take UM-Dearborn to the next level in terms of national and international recognition for the research that we do, particularly the translational research that lies between discovery and product development. The ECE department consists of tenured and tenure-track faculty members, including two Fellows of the IEEE.

Faculty in the ECE department have expertise in both electrical and computer engineering, especially in the following areas: computer systems and networks, control systems, signal processing, electronics, optoelectronics, power electronics and energy systems, robotics, machine learning, and intelligent systems. Graduates from our graduate programs have gone on to pursue successful careers in industry, as well as to pursue PhD. studies. We invite you to learn more about our programs and faculty research.
