Welcome to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering!
Excellence, innovation and integrity…three of the core values that the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of Villanova University is built on. Villanova University has a deep tradition of excellence which has allowed the students and faculty to expand the frontiers of science and technology for one hundred years. In the 21st century, electrical engineering offers exciting opportunities in communications, controls systems, energy development and nano/micro technology. The computer industry is one of the fastest growing segments of our economy, and that growth is expected to continue through this century. An engineering degree from Villanova University will equip the graduate for continued success in this challenging future.

The Augustinian values that provide structure for Villanova University have created a tradition of excellence which the ECE Department exemplifies. The ECE Department offers many services and activities to enhance the educational experience. A degree in electrical or computer engineering from Villanova University will provide a balance between the theoretical background and practical applications, which is essential for a rewarding career. The goal of the department is to provide a curriculum that combines a strong technical background and value system for future careers. The mission of Villanova University reflected in the ECE program is to prepare graduates who understand their role in a technological society, as well as to demonstrate ethical and moral leadership in their profession and communities. In an ever-changing world, it is critical to maintain a curriculum that is current, flexible and value-oriented. The faculty of the ECE Department is committed to teaching, research, and maintaining a strong relationship within the industry. The faculty belongs to a number of professional organizations. The University's Center for Engineering Education and Research, a $20 million facility, has 11 instructional and research laboratories for the students and professors. Other services and activities that are offered to students include faculty academic advisors, a walk-in tutoring center, and student professional organizations. Annually, the department sponsors an ECE Day, which show-case student achievements to the University and visitors from local industry.
