Welcome from the Chairman

As a world-class establishment we have a lot to live up to, and we want to be even better. The ECE Department has 62 full-time faculty and 21 part-time faculty who bring state-of-the-art research, development, and design experience into the classroom.

We are actively involved with industry-oriented Option III Masters degree programs in Software Engineering, Circuit Design, and Engineering Management. These programs allow working professionals to get an advanced degree in two years while working. They attend classes only one weekend per month on the UT Campus.

The department has a great student body that organizes itself with several student societies—HKN, IEEE, IEEE - Computer Society, Biomedical Engineering Society, Communications Society. Our staff is second to none and work extremely hard to ensure that faculty and students have necessary and sufficient access to required equipment, facilities, and advising resources to meet their varied academic needs. We are very fortunate to have pro-active groups such as these as part of the Department and we look forward to ever improving our student-staff-faculty interactions.

Dr. Anthony P. Ambler
Chairman
