University Of Washington, Department Of Electrical & Computer Engineering

The mission of the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Washington is to nurture and develop tomorrow’s engineering leaders in an environment of excellence in discovery with visionary researchers, by providing world-class undergraduate and graduate education in Electrical Engineering; conducting high-impact research of technical influence and recognized excellence; and addressing and formulating engineering solutions to aspects of the largest challenges facing humanity in health, energy, the environment, and in people-centric systems. As electrical engineering provides the essential ingredients that so many other fields rely upon – power, computation, communication, control, and measurement – and as EE becomes more specialized in its support of new and interdisciplinary areas, these new areas grow to become sub-disciplines of EE. Our small core curriculum has allowed students more credits to pursue senior level electives and capstone design courses which better support their technical focus and career aspirations.
