http://www.eecs.umich.edu/DCO/academic/undergrad.html (PC Press Internet CD, 03/1996)Modern electrical engineering is, itself, a broad and diverse field. The closely related area of computer science and engineering has now achieved its full role as a profession and rivals all engineering disciplines in its impact on society. The expanding roles of both electrical and computer engineers and scientists in today's society reflect the variety and scope of these exciting professions. In recognition of the distinct qualifications required of engineers and scientists entering these fields, the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department offers three undergraduate programs: the electrical engineering program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Electrical Engineering) B.S.E. (E.E.); the computer engineering program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Computer Engineering)-- B.S.E. (Comp. E.); and the computer science program leads to a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science (consult the LS&A Bulletin). Please consult with the undergraduate counseling office for more details.
Throughout each program, students work with modern laboratory equipment and are exposed to the most recent analytical techniques and technological developments in the field. Students have many opportunities to associate with outstanding faculty, most of whom are actively engaged in research or professional consulting. Such interaction serves to acquaint students with the opportunities and rewards available to practicing electrical or computer engineers and scientists. Students are encouraged to seek an advanced degree if further specialization and a higher degree of competence in a particular area is desired. The advanced degrees available are described under the section, "Graduate Studies."
Facilities
The departmental facilities include modern instructional laboratories and research laboratories in the areas of: communications and signal processing, bioelectrical science, systems engineering, radiation, solid-state electronics, optical science, vehicular electronics, advanced computer architecture, computer vision and cognitive science, artificial intelligence, robotics, and software systems. The instructional laboratory facilities available to the student provide access to many types of digital computers, logic design modules, and modern instrumentation for the design of discrete analog and digital circuits and systems. In addition, there are specialized facilities for communications and signal processing, integrated circuit and solid state device fabrication, image processing, electromagnetics and optics, VLSI design, distributed systems, computer vision, and artificial intelligence.
