The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
at San Diego State University fully subscribes to the concept of the "Teacher-Scholar"
model for its faculty. A faculty member is expected to maintain excellence in the
classroom and contribute to the advancement and dissemination of new knowledge. With
administrative support from the SDSU Foundation and through the judicious use of assigned
time, faculty members in the department engage in a number of extramurally funded
R&D projects. Research activities of the Department received support from the
National Science Foundation, Department of Education, Department of Energy, Navy Research
Labs, and various electronics and communication companies.
The research program in the Department complements the
graduate program by bringing forefront knowledge to the classroom and by training
graduate students. Extramural funds provide financial support to students, help supplement
state funds to equip laboratories, and enable the faculty to attend and contribute
to technical conferences in their field of investigation. Graduate students wishing
to involve themselves in the research projects enumerated below should contact the
applicable faculty members.
