  Goals    Vision    Mission

 

 

For many years, we have relied on wireless technology for communications through AM and FM broadcast radio, commercial television, and terrestrial and satellite telecommunications links. Over the past decade however, wireless communication technology has become an even more pervasive influence in our lives through cellular telephone deployment, wireless network access and the development of a myriad of consumer electronics employing wireless interfaces. 

Auburn University's new Bachelor of Wireless Engineering degrees offered through the ECE and CSSE Departments represent the first such degrees in the country and provide students with a unique opportunity to enter this exciting and rapidly expanding field. In addition, MS and PhD degree programs offer advanced study in a broad range of topics related to wireless technology. We believe our Wireless Engineering Program will help satisfy the worldwide need for engineers in this field, and provide an educational and technical resource for those needing access to wireless information and assistance with applications of wireless technology.

We appreciate your interest in Wireless Engineering and hope this site will answer many of your questions concerning our program.  Thank you for visiting our site!
