Initiated by a $25 million gift to the College of Engineering by Dr. Samuel L.
Ginn, the Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Computer
Science and Software Engineering (CSSE) have developed, and have obtained approval
for, a new undergraduate program leading to the Bachelor of Wireless Engineering
degree. There are two tracks in this program, one concentrating on the design
of hardware and the other on the design of software for wireless devices and networks.
This new program is one of the first of its kind in the United States. The official
starting date for this program was the Fall Semester of 2002.
