I joined the ECE department as chair about one year ago, and I am still learning many of the people and different aspects of the department. We are a "full service" department, with undergraduate programs in both Electrical and Computer Engineering, and masters and doctoral programs in Electrical Engineering. Our mission is service to the discipline of electrical and computer engineering, including undergraduate and graduate instruction, research to advance state of the art and aid in the economic development of the state and country, and service to the university, region, state, and country. Of all of the things about the department, its people are the most important. As of this moment, we have 248 undergraduate students, 96 master's students, and 35 PhD students. In the 2006-2007 academic year, 70 students completed BS degrees, 29 students completed master's degrees, and 3 students completed doctoral studies. Students in the ECE department are served by 16 faculty and 1 staff member. Faculty areas of research include the broad areas of information assurance, microelectronics and computer architecture, and the systems areas of communications, controls, and signal processing. For more details about research, please look elsewhere on this website, and also at individual faculty web pages.

If you are a prospective undergraduate student, please look at the section of this web page and the university web page for prospective students. If you are a prospective graduate student, please email our director of graduate programs, Professor James Constable, and check out the BU web site for prospective graduate students. If you are an alumnus, please take a look at the section of our web page for alumni. Also, please feel free to visit the ECE department or email me directly at zahorian@binghamton.edu or call me at (607)777-4846 and I'll be happy to speak with you. If you have recent professional successes, we will be glad to include them in the alumni section of this website. Our goal is to serve our students and alumni in the best possible way, in the Binghamton tradition, of one of the best values in higher education.
