Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Stevens

The Location

Stevens Institute of Technology is located in Hoboken, NJ, on a bluff overlooking the Hudson River and New York City. Five blocks south of the campus, the Hoboken Terminal serves as a main transportation hub between NYC and New Jersey, with train, bus and ferry services providing easy access to both the city and transportation to locations throughout NJ. In addition to the attractions in NYC and NJ, Hoboken itself provides a culturally diverse and upscale community environment for the students.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is located in the Burchard Building, on the corner of River Street and 6th Street. The campus is adjacent to Hudson Street, with it's classic theme of brownstone houses.

Directions to the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering
NOTE: We are at the corner of River Street and 6th Street. Go east on 5th Street and take the first left after crossing Hudson Street. The Stevens' map information will take you to the Howe Building on the upper part of the campus.
Technogenesis: Stevens Institute of Technology has artic ulated a theme that seeks to highlight the evolution of ideas from basic concepts through creative development to innovative products and services - a theme called "Technogenesis." This overarching theme, connecting principles to practice, impacts both the research activities of Stevens and its academic programs. Technogenesis continues the historical focus of the Stevens' programs - relevance to the real world and industry.

Main Academic Programs

Bachelors of Engineering

Master's of Engineering

Doctorate

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers ABET acredited Bachelors of Engineering degrees in Electrical Engineering and in Computer Engineering draw upon the common broad core curriculum developed within the Edwin A. Stevens School of Engineering, following which the student completes courses providing depth in the electrical or computer engineering program. In addition to the regular BE program, a student can obtain a BE with Thesis, working with a faculty member on a contemporary topic of interest to the student. Students can also obtain a minor in another program. Master's of Engineering degrees are offered in Electrical Engineering, in Computer Engineering, and in Networked Information Systems. In each program, students complete three core courses and an additional seven elective courses. Three of the elective courses must be selected according to an area of concentration within the student's program. Typically, three full semesters are required to complete the degree.

Several undergraduates arrange to complete their Bachelor's degree in parallel with completing a Master's degree (generally requiring a total of 5 years)
The Doctorate degree is provided in both Electrical and in Computer Engineering. Research areas include networked systems security, multimedia technologies and systems, wireless transceivers, image compression, mobile networks includi ng ad-hoc networks, efficient and reliable transmission of media-rich information over noisy channels, signal detection and estimation, image processing, network performance analysis, modeling of microwave structures. Students can also pursue multidisciplinary degree programs, taking advantage of the faculty and facilities in cooperating departments to complete their academic studies and research

Other Graduate Programs

Graduate Certificates

Degrees of Electrical Engineer
and of Computer Engineer

General Information

The Department offers several graduate cerrtificates, requiring completion of four specified courses from the regular graduate program selected by the Department for the topic.

Criteria for admission into a Graduate Certificate program are identical to those for admission into the Master's degree program.

Most of the Graduate Certificates are also offered as on-line programs through the Stevens' WebCampus program.

Certificate Degrees

Five Graduate Certificates are currently offered and one (DSP) is in development..

  • Wireless Communications
  • Networked Information Systems
  • Multimedia Technology
  • Secure Network Systems Design
  • Microelectronics & Photonics (offered jointly with the Physics and Materials Engineering Departments)
  • Digital Signal Processing (in development).
The degrees of Electrical Engineer and Computer Engineer serves those students interested in continuing past the master's degree but not wishing to proceed all the way to a doctorate degree. A total of 30 credits of coursework beyond the master's degree is required. In addition, a significant student project must be completed.

Representative Research Areas

Areas of active research generally overlap the three disciplines of the department (electrical engineering, computer engineering, and networked information systems). Despite this, the summary of research areas listed below are associated with different programs reflecting the main flavors of the research activities.
