电气和计算机工程系（ECE）允许学生通过MS或Ph.D研究生课程。程式。ECE提供研究生课程，可攻读MS和Ph.D。电气工程学士学位，具有以下各个领域的专业：通信理论与系统，计算机工程，电子电路与系统，电子设备与材料，智能系统，机器人与控制，磁记录，光子学，无线电与空间科学以及信号和图像处理。此外，在先进制造，应用海洋科学和材料科学领域设有跨学科课程。MS程序也以研究为导向，旨在为随后的博士学位提供必要的强化技术准备。提供了两种学习计划，都需要成功完成48个季度单元的课程学分。计划I是课程工作和研究的结合
Since its inception, the communications group at UCSD has been one of the largest and most visible communications groups in the world. The research interests of the faculty span a variety of topics, including adaptive signal processing, communications networks, data science, digital communications theory, electromagnetic wave propagation, error-correction coding, image and video compression, information theory, and stochastic processes, control, and optimization. Applications of the research include cognitive radio and networking, communication channels in feedback control systems, distributed storage, human networks of social contacts, magnetic and solid-state memories, wireless and mobile networks, sensor networks and internet of everything (IoE), and underwater acoustic channels.
