Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS)
Among the leading departments of its kind in the nation, EECS is creating the technology that puts the “smart” into electronics. Our excellence and impact comes through in the work of our two divisions.
EECS at Michigan
Established. Respected. Making a world of difference. EECS undergraduate and graduate degree programs are considered among the best in the country. Our research activities, which range from the nano- to the systems level, are supported by more than $75M in funding annually — a clear indication of the strength of our programs and our award-winning faculty. With this combination of great resources and talent, EECS at Michigan is transforming and improving a wide range of fields that touch all of our lives.
