Welcome to ECE

The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Oklahoma State University welcomes all students from Oklahoma and from diverse backgrounds across the world. We are highly recognized in the nation for our student-centered, laboratory intensive curriculum and are a partner of choice for employers seeking well educated, highly motivated, and uniquely creative college graduates dedicated to life-long learning. Our faculty are engaged in innovative research to create solutions and have knowledge relevant to the technological and scientific challenges of our time. We strive for excellence in all that we do, with the student at the focal point of our mission.

Outstanding Students

The ECE student is the focus of our Mission. Outstanding students from Oklahoma and the international community are enrolled in our baccalaureate and graduate programs. Upon graduation, ECE students compete for the best jobs and are well-positioned to pursue post-baccalaureate degrees. We pride ourselves with low student-to-faculty ratios and high retention rates that exceed 90%. Approximately 40% of the undergraduate student body and 60% of the graduate student body are either American Indian, Asian American, Black, Hispanic, Multiracial or International. Exceptional students today become notable ECE Alumni in the future.

World Renowned Faculty

The faculty of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering are committed to excellence - both in the classroom and the research laboratory. Their research has been highly cited by their professional peers and appears in highly esteemed journals and conference publications. All ECE faculty teach both undergraduate and graduate student courses each year, thus exposing all ECE students to the best minds in the ECE profession.

Cutting-Edge Research

Through the process of discovery and research ECE students and professors are probing the large-scale and nano-scale electrical universe and advancing critical ECE technologies for the economic development of the State of Oklahoma and our country. Their intelligence, creative thinking, determination and unique insights form the foundation for their success in creating new theories, models and algorithms, and designing novel devices, components, systems and engineering tools.
