We have a dedicated staff including a full-time undergraduate coordinator who advises students about their programs, and a full-time graduate coordinator. We offer Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and Ph.D degrees. Over 400 undergraduate students are self-declared majors; of these 134 have been admitted to the program as juniors.

The Department participates in the industry-sponsored MECOP internship program, and a great many students also find their own internships among the many high-tech companies in our area, sometimes called the "Silicon Forest". The department encourages internships as a great complement to formal learning.
