Our programs develop expertise in Electrical Engineering (power systems, electronics, renewable energy, robotics), Computer Engineering (hardware, software, AI, cybersecurity, high-performance computing), and Biomedical Engineering (medical devices, biosensors, wearable technology), preparing students for technological innovation. Our faculty conduct pioneering research in fields such as AI, robotics, cyber-physical systems security, integrated circuit design, power electronics,&nbsp; wearable biosensing, brain-computer interfaces, and neural robotics. Students gain hands-on experience in state-of-the-art labs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"fullwidth\">Our department has a rich history of innovation, having established the first NSF Robotics Research Center and introduced the nation\u2019s first microprocessor courses. We continue to lead the way by integrating AI and ML into our curriculum. Students will take rigorous capstone projects with industrial advisors and benefit from our unique programs, such as the International Engineering Program, Accelerated B.S.\/M.S. Program, and minors in robotics, cybersecurity, and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"cl-wrapper cl-card-wrapper\"><a class=\"cl-card  \" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/ecbe\/academics\/\" title=\"\"><div class=\"cl-card-container media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/ecbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2173\/ENG_030526_CS_111-e1774894961637.jpg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container text\"><div class=\"cl-card-text\"><h2>Academics<\/h2><p>We offer 3 accredited bachelor&#8217;s degrees, each with a 5-year B.S. to M.S. option, along with M.S., Ph.D. and certificate programs.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container button\">see all programs<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"cl-wrapper cl-card-wrapper\"><a class=\"cl-card  \" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/ecbe\/people\/\" title=\"\"><div class=\"cl-card-container media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/ecbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2173\/people-card.jpg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container text\"><div class=\"cl-card-text\"><h2>People<\/h2><p>Our faculty are innovators and global scholars in their fields who will give you top-tier instruction and personalized attention.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container button\">meet the faculty<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"cl-wrapper cl-card-wrapper\"><a class=\"cl-card  \" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/ecbe\/research\/\" title=\"\"><div class=\"cl-card-container media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/ecbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2173\/research.jpg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container text\"><div class=\"cl-card-text\"><h2>Research<\/h2><p>Focus areas include artificial intelligence, robotics, wearable biosensing, cyber security, power electronics, and more.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container button\">explore topics<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recent News<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"display-posts-listing\"><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/engineering-sophomore-awarded-an-ieee-power-and-energy-society-scholarship\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/ecbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2173\/IMG_1499-1-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Helen Ly is awarded a certificate of her scholarship from Assistant professor Yeonho Jeong\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/ecbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2173\/IMG_1499-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/ecbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2173\/IMG_1499-1-300x300.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/engineering-sophomore-awarded-an-ieee-power-and-energy-society-scholarship\/\">Engineering sophomore awarded an IEEE Power and Energy Society scholarship<\/a> <span class=\"excerpt-dash\">-<\/span> <span class=\"excerpt\">University of Rhode Island computer and electrical engineering sophomore Helen Ly \u201928, of Providence, Rhode Island, was awarded an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Power and\u00a0Energy Society scholarship for 2026.<\/span><\/li><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/2025-bi-annual-ieee-underwater-acoustic-signal-processing-workshop\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/ecbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2173\/IMG_20251016_171416960-1-scaled-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/ecbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2173\/IMG_20251016_171416960-1-scaled-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/ecbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2173\/IMG_20251016_171416960-1-scaled-1-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/2025-bi-annual-ieee-underwater-acoustic-signal-processing-workshop\/\">2025 Biannual IEEE Underwater Acoustic Signal Processing Workshop<\/a> <span class=\"excerpt-dash\">-<\/span> <span class=\"excerpt\">The University of Rhode Island held the biannual\u00a0IEEE Underwater Acoustic Signal Processing Workshop\u00a0last month.
