Electrical engineering is the application of scientific and mathematical principles to the design, manufacture, and control of structures, machines, processes, and systems. In the past, the work of electrical engineers has had a direct and vital impact on people’s lives. For example, electrical engineers have been responsible for the creation of electric power, modern electronics, computers, electronic communication systems, modern flight controllers, automated manufacturing and medical diagnostic tools. An electrical engineering education continues to provide opportunities for solving problems of great social significance and for increasing people’s quality of life. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UNLV has excellent facilities for graduate education and research in electrical engineering. In addition, our faculty are experienced and knowledgeable in many of the electrical engineering disciplines, including communications, computer engineering, control system theory, electromagnetics and optics, electronics, power systems, signal processing, nano technologies and solid state devices. At UNLV, students have the opportunity for personal interaction so that programs and research projects can be tailored to student interests.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers a wide array of high-technology computing and research facilities. Through the department, as well as the college, graduate students have access to a large network of personal computers and scientific workstations. These include a number of high-performance Sparc stations, Silicon Graphics workstations, Windows-based personal computers, and Apple Macintosh computers. Available software includes layout tools, logic synthesis tools, processing and demo modeling tools, signal and image processing tools, and microwave design tools. Further, graduate students have access to Cray YMP 2/216 and Convex C220 supercomputers. The department’s high technology research equipment includes a C-V profiler, Hall mobility measurement system, diffusion furnace, vacuum evaporative system, pulsed power systems, precision power analyzer, state-of-the-art test and measurement equipment including spectrum and network analyzers and digital scanners.
