We are the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of NC State University. #ThinkECE

The mission of the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at NC State University is the accumulation, generation, and dissemination of knowledge in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Central to this mission is a high quality research and educational program that benefits our students, the State of North Carolina, the nation and the world. The Department acts as a focal point for development, growth and entrepreneurship.

The technology powering electric vehicles, clean energy and aerospace was largely developed right here in North Carolina. NC State is where that work continues.

We're launching the Master of Science in Wide Bandgap Semiconductors this fall, the first program of its kind, designed for engineers ready to lead in SiC, GaN and the systems they power.
Applications close June 25.

Neil Sood stood in front of the NC State ECE Class of 2026 and told the truth about what four years actually felt like.

Midnight hours in Hunt Library so sleep-deprived that normal sentences became hilarious. Four days chasing a breakthrough in the 306 lab. Moments of wondering whether he belonged in the major at all.

He framed all of it through three things Jimmy Valvano said everyone should do every day: laugh, think and let your emotions move you.

"In the end, that's what NC State gave us more than any degree. The space to laugh, the time and obligation to learn and a community to lean on."

"I never could have predicted that that quiet undergrad in my networking class would later become my CEO."

Kim Hazelwood said it plainly. Technical excellence matters. But trust is the currency that keeps opening doors long after your first job, your first team and your first pivot.

"Talent may open the first door. Trust is what keeps opening doors after that."

On ECE Senior Design Day, NC State engineering students spent the first semester competing against Nagoya University in mini sumo robotics. In the second semester, they started building something better.

Their enhanced model uses OpenCV for object tracking and depth perception, with time of flight sensors on the way.
