My name is Alok Choudhary, and as Chair of EECS I am very pleased to inform you about the opp ortunities available to you as an undergraduate in our department.
To major in Electrical Engineering (EE), Computer Engineering (CE), or Computer Science (CS) is to choose an excellent and lucrative career path, with many options available to you after graduation. Our graduates immediately go to work at such illustrious companies as Google, Microsoft, Motorola, Apple, Ford, General Motors, IBM, Intel, Yahoo, Sun, HP, Northrup Grumann. Many go on to graduate school, and a degree from Northwestern assists in placement in top graduate programs for PhD and professional degrees.
Currently our undergraduate majors number about 250. Many work in research labs alongside professors and graduate students doing real research and publishing papers. Our students are involved in Design Competition developing competing robots, building and racing NU's solar car, creating games, animation and computer graphics, and numerous other exciting projects. Economics, Communications, Linguistics, Audio, Video, Networks, Theory, Distributed computing - all and more are found within EECS. Take a look at our research groups list.
Degree options are wide-ranging. We have CS, EE, and CE, and also offer an option to get your Masters simultaneously with your BS degree, or to choose a course of study within the Weinberg School of Arts & Sciences (as an alternative to the McCormick School of Engineering).
Non-majors can also learn about computers and programming by making use of our NU Programming curriculum, an invaluable resource.
I invite you to explore our website and learn more about us. If you have questions, or would like specific information about one or more of our programs, please phone us at 847-491-3451 or email mentors @ eecs.northwestern.edu. We look forward to hearing from you!
