About Us
Welcome!
A little about EECS...
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science is a learning community dedicated to the education of cadets. Our Faculty and Staff are a diverse group of the friendliest, most competent and energetic people you will ever meet. Our courses are current, relevant, and challenging. Our laboratories are fully equipped and carefully maintained. Graduates of our nationally accredited programs can rightly claim that their undergraduate background ranks among the very best.
The EE&CS Team shares a commitment to the Army ethos and the vision and goals established by the Dean and Superintendent of the United States Military Academy. This page describes the foundations for the great work we do every day.

Some facts and figures...
Our department is 71 great people with exceptionally diverse skills and backgrounds. Our classrooms see about 1,800 cadets per year. We operate 28 laboratories including computer, electronic, power, photonic, microwave, VLSI design, and other types, most of them seating 18 cadets, which is our maximum class size. We have a first rate technology infrastructure tied together by a network fast-approaching 100% gigabit speed. Our fabrication shop can build nearly anything, and we have great softball, basketball, and volleyball teams.
