The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at
Mississippi State University offers graduate programs of study leading
to the Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees
in both Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering. The Computer
Engineering program is offered through a joint effort of faculty in the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of
Computer Science and Engineering. These programs prepare graduates for
leadership roles in the constantly changing activities of research, development,
product design, consulting, and education. Each graduate program is tailored
to include course work and research to develop maximum capability in the
students' area of special interest.
Most
research in the Department is supported by government agencies or industries.
Research funding within the ECE Department exceeds $8 million/year. Research
facilities include the Emerging Materials Research Laboratories (EMRL),
the High Voltage Laboratory (HVL), the Institute for Signal and Information
Processing (ISIP), the Microsystems Prototyping Laboratory (MPL), the
Mississippi Center for Advanced Semiconductor Prototyping (MCASP), and
the Telecommunication and Information Technology Laboratory (TITL).Other MSU research facilities are closely affiliated with the ECE
Department. This includes the Engineering Research Center (ERC) and the
Diagnostic Instrumentation and Analysis Laboratory (DIAL).
