Greeting from the Chair
Dear Prospective Students, Parents, Supporters and Friends:
Welcome to the web site for the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, a joint program between Florida A&M University (FAMU) and Florida State University (FSU), established in 1983.
The Department of ECE presently has 23 faculty members, ABET accredited B.S. programs in electrical engineering and computer engineering with 600 undergraduate students, and M.S. and Ph.D. programs in electrical engineering with over 70 graduate students. The Department has strong research ties with Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS), and opportunities for collaboration with several major on-campus laboratories including the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL), High-performance Materials Institute (HPMI), and the Institute for Energy Systems, Economics, and Sustainability (IESES).
The mission of the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering is to provide an innovative academic undergraduate program of excellence to its majors; to produce graduates whose academic achievements match or exceed those of recognized state supported engineering colleges; to produce a greater number of graduates from groups traditionally underrepresented in electrical engineering; and to achieve national and international recognition through the excellence of its faculty and students research and scholarly pursuits, as well as their professional and service endeavors.
We hope you will find the information you are looking for in these pages, and if you have any questions please feel free to contact our department. I look forward to personally welcoming you to our department and College.
Simon Y. Foo
Professor and Chair
