2027 Recruitment Open Labs

You’re invited to join Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) as we host the 2026 ECE Open House! You’ll learn more about the Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering majors, hear about the opportunities available to ECE students, and see some of the labs used in undergraduate EECS classes.
So what exactly do electrical and computer engineers do? We do everything! We are there in all electronic devices (cell phones, computers, cars, appliances, etc). We are in electronic communication, networking, power, energy, sensors, and much more. We make things smart – we make them move.
We send and decode information – we connect people and things. And we light up the world – efficiently, of course!
Dinner will be provided to those who RSVP.

This event offers the opportunity to speak with corporate sponsors and faculty PI’s about their projects
Students are encouraged to:
Bring copies of their resume and be prepared to ask questionsRead the project descriptions on our website before attendingDress ranges from “classroom attire” to business casualIt is fine to show up partway through – this is intended to be a drop-in event.
The fair is a great way to learn more before applying. The application requires students to rank the projects in order of preference, and meeting the sponsors and faculty may influence your ratings. However, you do not have to attend the Project Fair to apply for an MDP project.

Workshop hosted by the Department of Mechanical Engineering to help current graduate students prepare for the 2026-27 NSF GRF application cycle.
