Prospective Students

    The University of Arizona's ECE Department continues to be a national thought leader in teaching innovation. With ABET-accredited undergraduate programs in both Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering, our curriculum is built around a systems approach to engineering design, while emphasizing communication and teamwork as critical skills for the modern professional.
    While new courses are regularly introduced into the curriculum to keep pace with emerging fields and technologies, our efforts to produce capable, world-class engineers go deeper than that. For example, over the past five years the Department has imbedded a formal writing assessment process into its undergraduate curriculum. Fostered by a Faculty attuned to ways to encourage the uses of writing as part of their course requirements, this effort has led to measurably enhanced writing ability for our engineering graduates.
    Our modern facilities further demonstrate our commitment to this educational philosophy, and ensures you'll receive one of the finest engineering educations in the country. The ECE Building houses over 40 research and training labs, including a state-of-the-art computer classroom called the Integrated Information Technology Laboratory (IITL) that allows our Faculty an excellent venue for demonstrating, explaining, and teaching students how best to understand and utilize complex software tools and environments.
    Nestled in the high desert and surrounded by four mountain ranges, Tucson and the University of Arizona enjoy over 300 sunny days a year, unique landscapes, and easy access to every leisure activity on land or water. And with nearly 1 million residents in the metropolitan area, you'll experience a vibrant culture, outstanding dining and nightlife, and an unparalleled academic experience.
