Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) is a key discipline, at the heart of the technology frontier. It deals with the design and analysis of electrical, magnetic and optical devices, and the processing, control, and transmission of information and energy. The tools used in electrical and computer engineering include electrical, electromagnetic and optical phenomena, systems theory, and computational hardware and software. The discipline can be divided in the fields of Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering.

A research thesis on this programme should cover all relevant aspects to electrical engineers and technicians, including the technical breakthrough, industry standards, technical aspects and trends. It should also provide an overall perspective of the electricity world, covering issues such as its generation, transmission, distribution, measurement and use.

Electronics systems manipulate electrical currents using devices such as transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits. These components control or amplify the flow of current and convert it from one form to another.

These are exciting times in electrical and computer engineering. Humanity is in the midst of a revolution that started with the harnessing of electric energy and has evolved to today’s ubiquitous access and use of information. Electrical and computer engineering occupy the leading role in driving this revolution. Electrical and computer engineering provides the devices and methods to collect, process, communicate and store information.
