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
The Electrical and Computer Engineering department is currently promoting the Medical Devices and Systems (MDS) Initiative an effort to encourage collaboration between ECE and the UCSD medical community. ECE research on medical devices and systems is multidisciplinary, leveraging faculty member expertise encompassing all areas of electrical and computer engineering. Our faculty are developing medical devices for diagnosis of cancers, diagnosis of chronic and infectious diseases, anatomical and clinical pathology using imaging algorithms and systems, minimally invasive and robotic surgery, and remote medicine employing wireless sensor network solutions. The faculty has active collaborations and extensive networks with the biomedical community, leveraging UCSD's world class medical school and the nation's most active biotech industry in San Diego. By teaming with doctors and clinicians, we have been successful in translational research, rapidly moving research results from the laboratories to the clinics. The MDS program is a major new theme in the department's roadmap with the vision of providing effective and affordable health care services to all.
