Welcome
The Mission of the UAF Electrical and Computer Engineering Department
is to offer the highest quality, contemporary education at the
undergraduate and graduate levels and to perform research appropriate
to the technical needs of the state of Alaska, the nation, and the
world.
Alaska's environment and remote location provide unique opportunities for research in a wide range of areas, such as the use of acoustic, light and radio wave techniques for measuring fish in Alaskan rivers to the geophysical properties of the aurora. Remote sensing for biomedical (animal tracking) and environmental (ground water and air monitoring) applications is an important research area for Alaska. Electric power systems research includes issues related to isolated rural Alaskan communities, analysis of larger interconnected generation, transmission and distribution systems serving major Alaskan population centers, and the use of alternative energy systems.
