The Artificial Intelligence Laboratory houses a multidisciplinary group of researchers involved in theoretical, experimental, and applied aspects of intelligent systems. Areas of excellence in theoretical computer science research include logic and parallel algorithms. The EECS research environment is strengthened by a University-wide computer network infrastructure. The College of Engineering's CAEN network, one the largest campus networks, supports both instructional and research computing and has links to research facilities throughout Michigan, the nation, and the world. A variety of fellowships, teaching assistantships, and research assistantships are available to students.
Departmental aid is awarded on a merit basis.
For recipients of NSF Fellowships, the University provides an additional stipend and the balance of tuition. Many privately owned apartments are within walking distance of the North and Central campuses, and many others are serviced by the Ann Arbor Transit Authority's extensive bus system. A no-cost University bus system is available to provide service between the campuses and student housing. Food and living costs are equivalent with the national level. Approximately 600 graduate students are enrolled in the EECS department.
