The department has 18 full time faculty members, all of whom hold doctoral degrees.
All faculty members teach classes and regularly interact with students.
Research specialties include speech communication, modeling and simulation, multicomputer architecture, quantum electronics and lasers, gaseous electronics, pulsed electric field effects on biological cells, robust neural network adaptive control, thin film technology, and diamond crystal growth. Engineering is the application of fundamental scientific and mathematical principles to the design, development and operation of devices and systems required by society. Computer engineers design and integrate hardware and software to create computers used in many application areas. It is the development of expertise in both hardware and software design that differentiates the computer engineer from the electrical engineer and the computer scientist . Computer engineers are the individuals who design and build computer systems.
