The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie
Mellon University has Tenure Track Faculty Openings.
Exceptional candidates in all areas of Electrical
and Computer Engineering will be given
consideration.
The College of Engineering and the Department of Electrical
and Computer Engineering (ECE) are ranked among the top
programs in the United States both at the undergraduate
and graduate levels. The ECE faculty have strong ties with
many multidisciplinary centers and institutes such as the
Institute for Complex Engineered Systems (graduated
NSF ERV), CyLab, Software Engineering Institute, Human
Computer Interaction Institute, the Robotics Institute and the
Information Networking Institute. The department is home to
several multi disciplinary centers and laboratories; the Data
Storage Systems Center (graduated NSF ERC), the Center for
Silicon System Implementation, the MicroElectroMechanical
Systems Laboratory, the SRC Smart Grid Research Center,
the Parallel Data Laboratory, and the Computer Architecture
Lab at Carnegie Mellon. Faculty members in the Department
of Electrical and Computer Engineering also have ties and
collaborations with colleagues around the world through
a number of formal research and educational programs.
The department has extensive experimental and computing
infrastructure. ECE currently maintains state-of-the-art
nanofabrication facilities and will be significantly expanding
these in both capability and scale within the next few years.

Increased penetration of distributed energy resources
such as solar and wind has resulted in the need for
solutions to counter the intermittency issues and
ensure a grid that is reliable and robust. The need
for better management of assets and reduced system
down-time highlights the importance of research in
self diagnosis and condition monitoring. These are
some of the problems that EPGC is addressing by
maintaining key domain expertise in Power Systems
and Power Electronics.

The Experimental Power Grid Centre is a world-class
facility specially mandated to lead A*STAR's efforts
in developing new technologies for the intelligent and
decentralised power distribution, interconnection and
utilisation. Opened on 1 Nov 2011, the facility is sited
on Jurong Island with the following features:

Located in Tianjin, Hebei University of Technology
(HEBUT) is a key provincial university as well as one
of the national universities under "Programme 211".
The university was founded in 1903 in Tianjin. It
specializes in all engineering and science disciplines
studies with 42 disciplines authorized to award
doctor degrees. HEBUT is the first engineeringbased university to launch MBA program in China.
Meanwhile, it is the only university in Hebei province
that offers an EMBA education.
