  1. Electrical & Computer EngineeringYour Future at IIT and Beyond Prof. Alexander J. Flueck flueck@iit.edu Electrical and Computer Engineering Illinois Institute of Technology 2009 Fall Open House

  2. Overview • Why study ECE @ IIT? • Undergrad research, co-op/internships, distinguished faculty • What are the ECE Department’s vital statistics? • Accreditation, programs, credit hours, faculty • How does IIT teach the fundamentals of ECE? • Hands-on! • What ECE specialties are offered at IIT? • Computer & Digital Systems; Communications & Signal Processing; Networks, Electronics, Electromagnetics; Power & Control • What types of laboratories are available?

  3. Why study ECE @ IIT? • Average starting salary above national average of $56k+ for EEs and CPEs • Undergraduate research and IPROs • Access to great co-op/internships • Distinguished ECE faculty • Collaborate with industry; bring it into the classroom • Dedicate their careers to students • Provide research experiences for undergraduates • Teach students to innovate – beyond today’s technology

  4. Vital Statistics • Accredited Programs • Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (EAC/ABET) • ECE BS Degree Programs (also excellent MS & PhD) • Computer Engineering (8 semesters) • Electrical Engineering (8 semesters) • Dual-degree BSCPE/BSEE (9 semesters) • Credit Hours • roughly 130 credits (3-4 credits/course; 5 courses/semester) • AP credit (score > 2) and Community College credit accepted • Faculty • 25 full-time (student/faculty ratio  13:1) • Industry experience, industry collaborations, industry donations

  5. After ECE @ IIT? • More than 270 organizations worldwide are seeking to employ our ECE graduates. • Join a group of distinguished alumni, such as Marty Cooper, inventor of the cell phone and CEO of ArrayComm.

  6. Your first semester @ IIT (all EE & CPE majors) Four main ingredients: Hands-on engineering design Open-ended problem solving via robotics competitions Oral and written communication skills Presentations from practicing engineers, such as ECE 100 - Intro. to the Professions • Software Technologies Group • ST Microelectronics • Northrop Grumman • S&C Electric • Philips - Advance • Motorola • ComEd/Exelon • Molex

  7. ECE 100 - Intro. to the Professions What can you build with this? What can your robot do? What can your robot do now? Hi Mom! We’re #1!
