Graduate programs focus on those fields which are heavily in demand worldwide. Current research areas are signal and image processing, electronics, optics, acoustics, electromagnetics, nanotechnology, robotics, telecommunications and networks, biomedical engineering, neuroscience, and system and control theory. The department emphasizes research with the support of excellent laboratories, computing facilities, and libraries. These facilities are continuously upgraded through various grants from national and international resources. Currently there are image processing, signal processing, optics, electronics, telecommunications, robotics and control, microwaves and antennas, nanophotonics, and biomedical laboratories. All applicants are required to have a B.S. degree in electrical and electronics engineering, or in a related field of science or engineering. Students with a B.S. degree in areas other than electrics and electronics engineering may be requested to take several undergraduate courses in the field to acquire the necessary background.
