Electrical and Computer Engineering
Create the hidden technology that advances everyday life.
"Not only does Carnegie Mellon have the most professors teaching computer design, but we have all the tools, and unheard of, we can tape-out computer chips. I have had several very famous researchers from the ECE community envious of my CMU resources and ask to co-author papers so I can provide more credibility to their ideas. It wasn't by chance; I made a very informed decision in choosing CMU."
