NC State University's Department of Electrical and Computer

Engineering is one of the leading electrical and computer engineering

research departments in the world. Based in Koch Hall, named for

alumna and astronaut Christina Koch, the department serves over 2,300

undergraduate and graduate students, making it one of the largest ECE

programs in the nation. It is home to CLAWS, one of 8 regional ME

Commons Hubs funded as part of the CHIPS and Science Act, the FREEDM

Systems Center and the ASSIST Center, both launched as National

Science Foundation Engineering Research Centers, as well as AERPAW, an

NSF-funded aerial wireless research platform. These centers give our

students hands-on access to research at the national level, opening up

collaborations across industry, government and the Research Triangle.

The department offers real-world learning and entrepreneurship

opportunities, helping students and faculty move discoveries from an

idea in a lab to a product in the marketplace. Through our programs,

we emphasize application-driven research that makes an impact for the

people of North Carolina and the world.
