Faculty within the Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science departments teach all the core Computer Engineering courses. Classes are small and offer opportunities for discussion and close interaction between students and faculty.  Faculty also encourage students to meet with them for assistance outside of class.  Faculty members mentor students in research projects and senior capstone design projects.
