Welcome to Wireless Engineering
For many years, we have relied on wireless technology for communications through
AM and FM broadcast radio, commercial television, and terrestrial and satellite
telecommunications links. Over the past decade however, wireless communication
technology has become an even more pervasive influence in our lives through cellular
telephone deployment, wireless network access and the development of a myriad
of consumer electronics employing wireless interfaces.
Auburn University's new Bachelor of Wireless Engineering degrees, offered through
the ECE and CSSE Departments, represent the first such degrees in the country
and provide students with a unique opportunity to enter this exciting and rapidly
expanding field.
In addition, MS and PhD degree programs offer advanced study in a broad range
of topics related to wireless technology. We believe our Wireless Engineering
Program will help satisfy the worldwide need for engineers in this field, and
provide an educational and technical resource for those needing access to wireless
information and assistance with applications of wireless technology.
