Research Opportunities are abundant
in the EE Department at SDSU. The department's faculty have funded research that
provides numerous opportunities for students to be involved first-hand
in cutting edge research work. EE faculty who have these funded research
opportunities advertise their openings within the department, and at any
given time the department typically has 8-12 students working in these
research assistant positions.
Many students involved in this research
work contribute to published scientific papers and appear as co-authors for these works. Several of our EE
students have also won national
and
international awards for their research work. Such work is of particular
significance for those students desiring to go on to careers in scientific
research and development. Of course the students also have the opportunity to
earn some money while completing this work, and are provided with an office and
flexible work schedules that allow them to work around their courses. Although
they are employees, their own course work and progress remains our highest
priority.
The SDSU Department of Electrical Engineering has the distinction of having one of the highest involvements of undergraduate students in research and scholarly work. Our list of scientific publications with student co-authors is evidence of this involvement.
