Facilities are available for research in each of the areas.
Excellent departmental laboratories support the devices, materials and electrooptical systems research in addition to the extensive facilities of the various other components of the interdepartmental materials program in engineering. Solid state and optical communication facilities include class 10 and class 1000 clean rooms equipped for semiconductor device fabrication and crystal growth, and well-equipped labs for electronic and optical measurements. Excellent computing facilities are readily available for research. The Electrical Engineering Department, in cooperation with the Department of Computer and Information Sciences , maintains a large number of SUN workstations for use in VLSI design, modeling and simulation, signal processing, and computer networking research. Image processing research is supported by several high-performance Silicon Graphics imaging workstations.
