Innovative Research Starts Here

Our undergraduate and graduate students in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering are working hard to help solve engineering challenges by leading the way in bold, innovative research. Our state-of-the-art facilities and labs help pave the way for research in microelectronics, telecommunications and computer engineering. With over 49 research awards won within 2017, our students and faculty are upholding the reputation of Fearless Engineering at UTD.

 

Labs & Facilities

Our students have access to excellent labs and facilities including advanced computational facilities, the advanced electrical characterization lab, cleanroom research lab, nano-characterization facility and surface and materials characterization lab. Beyond the UTD facilities, mutually beneficial partnerships have been established with many leading local industries to make their facilities available to our graduate students.
