¶¶Òõ̽̽

Welcome to the Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering, where innovation drives collaboration, world-class research, and transformational educational programs. Our approach embraces a flexible curriculum, allowing students to gain broad design experience in a supportive, hands-on environment.

Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)

Our ECE program is unlike any other. At ¶¶Òõ̽̽ you will experience what makes Vermont unique – from welcoming faculty with a passion for teaching to abundant research opportunities that will help change the world. Students in ECE engage in exciting internships with some of the most influential companies of our era that are right in our backyard including , , , and . Our students work closely with faculty working on power and energy systems to enable a clean energy future, creating self-destructing computer chips for cybersecurity, and autonomous control of satellite swarms in space. Vermont leads the country in aggressive decarbonization and electrification policies and our faculty and students are leading that charge with our  Center for Energy and Autonomy (CREATE), which seeks to develop the next generation of smart grids that integrates millions of solar and wind resources. We have abundant and sophisticated lab space to master hands-on skills in ECE, including our new semiconductor education facility, developed in collaboration with Global Foundries, to provide students with unparalleled education relevant for today’s Engineers. Our curriculum provides a strong foundation in ECE that is flexible enough to allow specialization, e.g., Power and Energy, Semiconductor Engineering, Autonomy and Robotics, and Biomedical. With state-of-the-art lab facilities, a plethora of minors, certificate offerings and an accelerated Master’s program (AMP), students have the best of everything, including a collaborative environment and beautiful place to live! 

Biomedical Engineering (BME)

One of fastest growing programs on campus, Biomedical Engineering (BME) is uniquely situated between the , , and ¶¶Òõ̽̽’s state-of-the-art STEM complex where faculty and students engage in interdisciplinary research, collaboration, and instruction. This seamless interaction provides instruction by clinical faculty, interdisciplinary research opportunities, and access to real-world clinical and biomedical laboratories. Our faculty engages in exciting cutting-edge research on nanotechnology, wearable sensors, computational biology, orthopedics, and neuroimaging. Our innovative undergraduate curriculum in Biomedical Engineering provides a vertically integrated experience that allows students to engage in team-based design during all 4 years of study. With access to competitive stipends from the Larner College of Medicine and the Graduate College our BME graduate program allows students to engage in world-class research in labs across campus.

I invite you to explore our website to learn how you can become part of our dynamic department and the expanding opportunities that create new leaders in their fields of study and research.

Senior Experience in Engineering Design (SEED)

During their senior year, Electrical Engineering students work together in teams for their Senior Experience in Engineering Design (SEED) projects addressing complex and multidisciplinary challenges that originate as problem statements from local companies, non-profits, faculty, or students.

OUR MISSION

The Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering (EBE) provides world-class educational opportunities for students and to fosters internationally-recognized, faculty-driven research. The Department recognizes and values the breadth of expertise encompassed by the fields of electrical engineering and biomedical engineering and offers a collaborative environment that supports initiatives related to excellence in pedagogy and scholarship.

In EBE, you'll find individualized attention both in and out of the classroom, unique opportunities to work with faculty on their research (as an undergraduate too!), and an environment where interdisciplinary, extracurricular, and/or entrepreneurial interests are encouraged.  You’ll find in EBE a highly accessible faculty and staff — we encourage you to reach out to us with any questions you might have!
