As the largest department at MIT, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science (EECS) is everywhere. Each year, EECS prepares hundreds of undergraduate and graduate students to become leaders in diverse career fields such as academia, biomedical technology, finance, consulting, law, nanotechnology and more. Part of both the Schwarzman College of Computing and the School of Engineering, MIT EECS consistently is at the top of U.S. News and World Report rankings and is known globally for its world-class faculty creating the best possible education, which is based on their innovative and award winning research.
EECS’ nearly 130 faculty find their research homes in four major affiliate labs: the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS), the Microsystems and Technology Laboratories (MTL) and the Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE). The nature of interdisciplinary and collaborative thinking demonstrated by EECS faculty members cuts across these labs, reaching across MIT and into industry and academia worldwide.
