Washington State University and its College of Engineering and Architecture play pivotal roles in the economy of the region, leading initiatives in technology and preparing a new generation of innovators.

As the largest unit within this College, the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science is instrumental in determining competencies and preparing students at all levels (B.S., M.S., and Ph.D.) for technological productivity. The success of our graduate students in industry and higher education reflects the excellence of the School of EECS and its programs. In industry, our graduate degree holders are presidents, CEOs, CIOs, vice presidents, directors, and division and department managers. Some have founded at least one company and initiated and promoted new technologies, operations and sales strategies. Others have excelled as senior designers, project managers, senior scientists, and lead engineers. In higher education, they are professors, deans, and research directors. Graduate degrees have enriched their lives and careers, while affecting positively the economy of the state and nation. All are excellent role models for their peers and our students.

WSU's reputation for high-quality education, research, and public service enables it to continue achieving its missions. Graduate students play an essential part in carrying out the School's mission to conduct research that will make a difference to industry, government, and society. Graduate-level programs in electrical and computer engineering include power engineering; microelectronics; electromagnetics and optical communications, control, and signal processing; embedded systems and software engineering. Graduate programs in computer science include algorithms and theory of computing; computer networks and distributed computing; graphics, computational geometry, and image processing; and knowledge discovery. Research in these selected areas of emphasis are prominent among peer institutions and consistently attract funding from government and private sources. Funding from all sources helps support research, teaching, and laboratory assistants, equip laboratories, and pay for travel to conferences and faculty development opportunities.
