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
We derive methods for asymptotic maximum likelihood (ML) estimation of Jakes' Doppler power spectrum parameters from complex noisy estimates of the fading channel. We consider both single-input single-output (SISO) and smart-antenna scenarios and utilize the Whittle approximation to the likelihood to estimate the Doppler spread, noise variance, and channel covariance parameters. Asymptotic Crame´r-Rao bounds (CRBs) for the unknown parameters are derived. We also discuss the initialization of the proposed methods and their generalization to the Ricean-fading scenario. Numerical simulations demonstrate the performance of the proposed methods.
