Message from the Chair
Dear Friends:
The COVID-19 pandemic has made this a trying year for all of us, and to say that the pandemic is changing higher education is an understatement. While this has been a year of major transformation, it’s also been a year of successful adaptation for us.
When we had to move quickly to online instruction, we did, and with great success. When we had to move to online labs, we did, despite the obvious challenges inherent in such a transition. And, happily, we’ve found that the student experience has not suffered because of it. And on top of all of this, our faculty and students have continued to engage in numerous activities outside the classroom to enhance our students’ education.
I invite you to read more about us and our ongoing activities and accomplishments.
Best wishes for a safe and relaxing summer!
Professor and Department Chair
IEEE Fellow
Spotlight
Dr. Miloš Doroslovački
Dr. Doroslovacki conducts research into signal processing, communication signals and systems, discrete-time signal and system theory, and wavelets and their applications.
Dr. Amir Aslani
Dr. Aslani teaches a variety of undergraduate courses, including the Capstone Design Program. He aims to develop more than strong engineering skills in his students. He also aims to teach them how to develop strong mindsets—the attitudes, motivation and disposition to learn.
