Our department is one of the fastest growing departments in one of the fastest growing Universities in the United States. We currently have 1500 students majoring in several areas: computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, bioengineering, and information engineering technology; 400 of these are graduate students. Our faculty has very active research interests in software engineering, networking and communications, multimedia, VLSI design, mobile systems, computer architecture, distributed systems, database systems, internet engineering, digital signal processing, systems and robotics, electromagnetics and RF, and bioengineering. In the last two years, we generated more than two million dollars in sponsored research from the National Science Foundation (NSF), NASA, NIH, DOD, and many companies including Motorola, LexisNexis, RealNetworks, Pratt & Whitney, and IBM.
