Message from the Chair W elcome to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. With 12 faculty members and approximately 250 students, we are fortunate to have an exceptionally strong faculty and many good students. Our faculty have strong records in engineering research and professional activities that make them nationally and internationally known. All our faculty teach undergraduate courses every year, and a regular member of the faculty teaches essentially every course in electrical engineering. Small class sizes, promote an unusual degree of interaction between faculty and students.
Graduate students have many unique opportunities in the department.
The graduate program in electrical engineering is general in content, and both master's and doctoral students must become proficient in an extensive range of electrical engineering areas. Student chapters of IEEE, Tau Beta Pi and Women in Engineering, arrange for guest speakers, visits to local plants, and friendly association between students. I would be glad to talk with you about electrical and computer engineering at UNLV or to show you our facilities and the campus. I look forward to hearing from you.
