The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECpE) contains two focuses. The focus on Electrical Engineering teaches students in the fields of control systems, electromagnetics and non-destructive evaluation, microelectronics, electric power & energy systems, and the like. The Computer Engineering focus teaches in the fields of software systems, embedded systems, networking, information security, computer architecture, etc.
History
The Department of Electrical Engineering was formed in 1909 from the division of the Department of Physics and Electrical Engineering. In 1985 its name changed to Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering. In 1995 it became the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Abstract
It is well known that the CO 2 emitted by fossil energy is one of the major reasons that result in global warming. It is still an open question about how to reduce CO 2 emission by the implementation of an investment plan for clean power systems. In this paper, we propose a clean power trading method among neighboring regions such that we can reduce CO 2 emission in a large region and reduce the imbalance between the power demand and supply in a region caused by the fluctuation of clean energy. With the five states with rich wind energy in America as an example, we use the quantitative computation results of the five states (from a modeling framework designed by ourselves) to show that our proposed clean power trading method can help reduce CO 2 emission and realize balance.
