The power research and teaching laboratory is one of the finest in the country. It allows the students and researchers to experiment with computer controlled electrical machines, drives, and power electronics systems. The electroscience research and graduate studies emphasis area consists of 9 faculty and approximately 25 graduate students working in the areas of applied electromagnetics, plasmas and plasma processing and electronic materials with an emphasis on microengineering and nanotechnology. Graduate students plan their M.S. or Ph.D. programs by selecting from comprehensive graduate course offerings. Fundamental electroscience concepts are treated in Master's level courses while advanced research development courses support the various research specializations.
Modern laboratories are available to support research in the electrosciences.
Emphasis is placed on the mathematical understanding of systems, signals, and processing techniques and their practical applications. New computing technologies have revolutionized both long and short distance communication systems as well as the systems for performing local computations such as filtering, coding, and pattern recognition. Modern high-capacity communication channels reliably carry text, data, voice, video, and other information messages over satellite links, optical fiber networks, wireless channels, and broadband network services into the office and private homes. The focus of statistic signal processing is upon mathematical techniques that provide adaptively optimal solutions in the presence of the non-ideal conditions occurring in real problems. Applications of statistical signal processing results are very broad.
