Innovating the Future

Welcome! Our 300 ECE undergraduate and graduate students and our 30 professional staff and faculty members are actively engaged in teaching, research, and outreach in the true spirit of the Morrill Act/Land Grant tradition. Whether you are a visitor, prospective student, or a longtime member of our community of scholars, we look forward to working with you.

Research

All faculty members in ECE engage in research and creative activity. Areas of research include embedded computing, mixed signal design, acoustics and audio, complex systems and control, communication systems, digital signal processing, MEMS/MOEMS, optics and optoelectronics, power systems and power electronics.

Teaching

We particularly emphasize hands-on laboratory experience at all levels and encourage student involvement in research, discovery, and dissemination of new knowledge. Even in the very first course, EE101, students get hands-on experience constructing and testing a custom robot project, and many students work in campus labs, such as MSU's Space Science and Engineering Laboratory.

Outreach

ECE faculty are active volunteers for local, regional, and international engineering organizations and conferences. Faculty, staff, and students also volunteer for numerous outreach events each year, including talks and lab vists for K-12 education, special events and engineering competitions, and summer research programs for under-represented groups in engineering.
