Administration & Contact Information Electricity itself was still a novelty and commercial electric power was just beginning to appear in some cities when Cornell University introduced the nation’s (and the world’s) first course of study in electrical engineering in 1883. With 40 faculty members, 300 graduate students, and more than 500 undergraduates, the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) is the largest school in the College of Engineering, and consistently ranks among the top 10 ECE schools nationally. The field of electrical and computer engineering encompasses digital and computer systems, embedded processors, digital signal processing, R. F. (wireless) systems, optical communications, solid-state electronics, integrated circuit design and fabrication, and biomedical applications such as image processing, sensors, and signal analysis. ECE remains at the forefront of these fields, educating and training the next generation of engineers while driving the leading edge of technology. The reach of electrical and computer engineering extends from the nanoscale level of integrated electronics to terrestrial-scale power grids and global-sized networks. From single-transistor devices to networks comprising a billion nodes, the graduates of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering participate in all aspects of communication and signals, the design of computers’ complex brains, and the fundamental representation and processing of information itself.
