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. Electrical engineering is the engineering discipline that deals with electrical and optical devices and systems. Electrical engineers design and build devices and systems that transmit, process, store and display information, and which generate, store, transmit and utilize electrical energy. In addition, electrical engineers make important contributions in other fields of engineering and science by devising measurement instruments and systems.
