Hello!
Welcome to Fall Semester 2020 in UTA’s Electrical
Engineering Department.
Whether you are a new or returning Maverick,
we’re happy to have you here.
I am Professor Diana Huffaker, and this is
my third week as Department Chair.
EE is an exciting place to be right now.
It is perhaps the most versatile career path
in the entire engineering portfolio.
As an electrical engineer, you will solve
pressing, socially relevant problems through
software development, theory, nanofabrication
and systems design.
We will help you prepare for career opportunities
ranging from 5G and beyond communication links,
internet of things, machine learning to support
autonomous vehicles, cyber-physical systems
for energy security, power distribution and
energy storage or medical delivery and new
diagnostic tools.
Whether you are local or joining us remotely,
I hope you will become familiar with the many
opportunities in the EE department to learn
inside and outside of the classroom.
I invite you to scan our website – aside
from coursework, we offer a multitude of student
clubs and social groups, tutoring, undergraduate
research experiences and local industrial
internships.
We also have a strong entrepreneurs initiative
called MavPitch that could earn you significant
funding for a new business idea.
You can also check out research pages from
our faculty members.
You can be sure that the EE faculty and staff
are fully committed to offering you the best
possible learning environment through our
face-to-face, hybrid and asynchronous class
offerings.
I look forward to seeing you around the department
and the engineering quad this semester!
