Northwestern University's Computer Engineering program is a collaborative initiative between the Department of Computer Science (CS) and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), providing both MS and PhD degree options in Computer Engineering (CE). The field encompasses a wide range of disciplines such as integrated circuits/VLSI, computer architecture, system design, operating systems, compiler development, data analytics, high-performance computing, parallel processing, distributed systems, automation tools, embedded technologies, reconfigurable platforms, mobile and wearable devices, IoT applications, cyber-physical networks, real-time operations, and database management.
Faculty members' diverse research interests foster extensive partnerships across engineering and science departments, the Feinberg School of Medicine, and prominent national research facilities including Argonne, Fermi, Sandia, and Oak Ridge National Laboratories, alongside industry collaborations.
A typical applicant is expected to have a bachelor of science in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related discipline from a recognized institution. Highly qualified candidates with other academic backgrounds may also be considered.
