Electrical engineering focuses on the development of devices, systems and technologies based on electrical and electronic phenomena. Electrical engineers pioneer technologies such as integrated circuits, microelectronic devices, electronics, electromagnetics and electro-optics, signal processing, computer systems and networks, communication, control systems and more.

Computer engineering is the fastest-growing field in engineering and presents many exciting challenges and opportunities. Computer engineering focuses on the design, development, and alaysis of hardware and software for computing systems.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UD provides students with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed. Since 1911, the department has grown from one full-time faculty member to 15 full-time faculty members and nine part-time faculty members.

The department provides modern well-equipped laboratories, located in the Kettering Engineering and Research Laboratory building. Our facilities ensure students are placed in a professional atmosphere that exposes them to the full scope of engineering. The department maintains excellent laboratory facilities where students learn the techniques of experimentation and experimental research, as well as practical aspects of product development and design. Computer facilities are readily accessible to all engineering students, and students receive early training in the use of industry-standard engineering design tools.

The computer and electrical engineering programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
