Mission

Undergraduate Education: Wireless Engineering is now a fully ABET accredited undergraduate degree option in both Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Computer Science and Software Engineering (CSSE). Wireless Engineering Research and Education Center(WEREC) laboratory facilities provide instrumentation to support the laboratory portion of these new Bachelor of Wireless Engineering (BWE) degrees. These facilities are used in support of senior design projects in wireless engineering. We expect Wireless Engineering Research and Education Center(WEREC) faculty play a significant role in development of wireless classrooms for use in undergraduate education, and wireless communications is also a part of the undergraduate laboratories. Scholarships are offered through the center to attract top students in to the option.

Graduate Education and Research: Many courses related to wireless engineering already exist at the graduate level. Wireless Engineering Research and Education Center(WEREC) helps coordinating the existing offerings and also assists with the development of new graduate courses. Support is provided for graduate research through student fellowships and matching funds for faculty research grants. Wireless Engineering Research and Education Center(WEREC) laboratory facilities provide state-of-the-art research instrumentation to support the experimental work of faculty associated with the center. These significant new laboratory facilities help faculty produce highly competitive research proposals and provide graduate students with invaluable experience with industrial quality instrumentation. In addition, the advanced characterization capability of the laboratories should help attract new faculty. The research laboratories are temporarily housed in Broun Hall, but new and improved space has been committed in the first phase of the new engineering building under construction.
