Welcome to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Delaware, where we Dare to be first. Since 1891, we have been innovators in science and technology to serve society through research, education, and entrepreneurship. Our faculty are leaders in research that span from fundamental theories to high impact applications. In Computer Engineering, we were pioneers in the development of the internet, and continue to advance high performance computing and cybersecurity. Our research in Nanoelectronics, Electromagnetics and Photonics introduces new materials for the next generation of hardware for information processing, theories for quantum computing, and high efficiency solar cells in collaboration with the Institute for Energy Conversion. Signal Processing, Communications, and Control at UD have established fundamental theories to advance wireless communications and imaging, to understand and model biological processes and diseases, and to explore the ocean and coastal environment.
