LSU's Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) program utilizes scientific and mathematical principles focused on information sensing, transmission, and processing, along with studying the electrical, optical, and magnetic characteristics of materials and electrical energy generation/distribution. The field offers diverse career paths in computing, telecommunications, automation, electronics, and power systems. ECE alumni have excelled in corporate, academic, and startup ventures worldwide. Both faculty and students engage in pioneering research across multiple ECE specialties that significantly influence their fields.
The Electrical & Computer Engineering Division provides Master's and Doctoral degree programs. Research concentrations encompass: Control Systems (adaptive control, networked systems, fault detection), Communications & Signal Processing (wireless networks, data compression, image analysis), Computer Engineering (parallel computing, embedded systems, computer vision), Electronics (nanotechnology, photonics, integrated circuit design), and Power Systems (renewable energy, smart grids, motor drives). Additionally, students can pursue an interdisciplinary focus in Information Technology.
