Hall. It is the home of the newly completed Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. Library, the largest public
library in the western United States. The University's
enrollment stands at nearly 30,000 students.
The College of Engineering
Frequently referred to as "The Engine That Drives
Silicon Valley,"SJSU's College of Engineering has
provided more engineers to its high-tech community
than any other university in the USA. The
college has 5,200 students, 1,500 graduates and
3,700 undergraduates. The seven departments offer
eleven different degree programs at the BS and
MS levels.
The EE Department
The EE Department has established a fi rm goal to
provide a high quality Electrical Engineering education
to its students at both the undergraduate and
graduate levels. The Department offers classroom
instruction by the best qualifi ed EE faculty, handson
experience in industry-sponsored state-of-theart
laboratories, and opportunities for industry
internships. The Department has over 600 undergraduate
and 400 graduate students.
The program supports students to acquire professional
experience while taking classes. A number of
students work as faculty assistants and teaching
associates in the department. In conjunction with
their classes, many students work as EE interns in
the Silicon Valley fi rms. Our graduates enjoy excellent
career opportunities in a broad spectrum
of theoretical and practical areas such as wireless
communications, mixed signals, design of chips
and internet technologies. |

EE Department's Mission
The department's mission is to provide an empowering
educational opportunity to students for their
technical, professional and social development in a
competitive and dynamic global society.
Undergraduate Program
The Department's educational philosophy emphasizes
a hands-on practical education, based on sound understanding
of Electrical Engineering fundamentals.
Laboratory experience and projects are an integral
part of the program. The program prepares the student
to work as an engineer in industry or to pursue
higher education.
Graduate Program
The EE graduate program offers specialization in Digital
Design, Signal Processing and Communication,
Networking, VLSI, and Analog and Mixed Signal ICs.
Thesis, project, or courses-only options are available
to complete the degree. Industry internships are a
strong component of the graduate program. Graduates
of the program work in industry or continue with
a doctoral program.
EE Faculty
Our highly qualified EE faculty members are supported
by 20 adjuncts from local industry, and 15 Teaching
Associates. Regular faculty members are active
in research and publications, including authoring of
textbooks adopted by many universities and colleges
around the world.
