Northwestern's campus is now fully networked so that students can access a wide variety of local and remote information sources from dormitory rooms and public laboratories on campus. These include the university library catalog and other library resources, a campus-wide information service called NUInfo, an electronic mail system, and the world-wide internet web. Taking note of the pervasive spread of computing, the McCormick faculty has adopted a policy statement making each undergraduate engineering student responsible for his/her own basic computing hardware and software for such tasks as word-processing, spreadsheet calculations, graphics, and connecting to the university's computer network. McCormick will continue to maintain a number of public and departmental computing laboratories, but it is anticipated that these will be used primarily for higher level or more specialized applications which students will not be expected to provide themselves.

As of September 1st, 1996, the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) will split into two departments, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and the Department of Computer Science (CS). The Computer Science major will be administered by the CS department, and the Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering majors will be administered by the ECE department.
add new section:
The Department of Computer Science offers a wide variety of programs of study leading to BS, MS and PhD and BS/PhD degrees. Courses and research in the department focus on the theories, enabling technologies, and applications of modern computer Science. There is a strong focus on the design, implementation and evaluation of software systems, including interactive, distributed multimedia systems. Particular areas of research include:
Artificial intelligence, including mobile robots with perceptual systems, models of memory and reasoning, knowledge representation, natural language understanding, planning and problem solving
Theoretical computer science, including algorithm design and the analysis of their worst and average case behavior
Software engineering, including the analysis, design, implementation, evaluation and maintenance of large applications
Human computer interaction, including interface design, task modeling, intelligent interfaces and authoring tools
Distributed interactive systems, including client-server and Web-based applications, learning environments for education and training
Courses and research are highly interdisciplinary, with particularly strong connections to education and psychology, both in shared faculty and joint research projects. Detailed information on degree requirements and courses are available from the departmental office.
Facilities
The campus is extensively networked, including dormitories, with a 100-megabit FDDI university network backbone. All students have full Internet access. Electronic mail, web sites, and other computer-based communication facilities are used to increase the bandwidth between students and faculty beyond the classroom.
The departmental facilities are intended to provide students with additional resources, from email accounts and web pages (with CGI) to high-end graphics, video, and virtual reality. For example, the department runs a shared virtual environment for students and staff, with experimental
facilities for creating new kinds of shared virtual environments.
In addition, the Department of Computer Science is the home of the Institute for the Learning Sciences, an interdisciplinary research and development center, comprising over 175 people, dedicated to building innovative educational software for schools, businesses, government, and the general community. Students are often involved in Institute projects, as independent study courses or as part of Honors Thesis work, providing valuable experience in a world-class research environment.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has two distinct curricula electrical engineering and computer engineering both of which offer a broad range of programs leading to the BS degree. In addition, MS and PhD degrees can be pursued in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Electrical engineering is concerned with the theory, design, implementation and applications, both actual and potential, of various devices and systems based on electrical phenomena and properties. Computer engineering is concerned with applying engineering principles to computer hardware design, the interrelationship between hardware and software in making effective use of computers, the use of embedded microprocessors and distributed and parallel computing.
Because the disciplines of electrical engineering and computer engineering are very broad, their curricula are designed to appeal to students with various educational and professional goals. By properly selecting elective courses, students can specialize in one or two areas in the department or in an interdisciplinary program. Detailed information on degree requirements and elective courses leading to these areas of specialization is given in the Electrical and Computer Engineering bulletin available in the department office.
Areas Of Specialization
EE areas (from Communication Systems to Biomedical Engineering) remain unchanged. Delete all remaining areas and replace with the following:
Computer Architecture and Systems Design
This area focuses on the design of computer system hardware. Topics include processor design, computer arithmetic, controller design, instruction set design, memory subsystems and pipelining. Computeraided design tools are used for the various levels of the design hierarchy.
Distributed and Parallel Computing
This program will introduce students to the state of the art field of high performance computing. In particular, it will deal with aspects of computing involving multiple processors working together on a common problem, including issues of computer architectures, parallel programming and algorithms, numerical computing and computer networking.
VLSI and Computer Aided Design
This area focuses on systematic approaches to designing highperformance integrated circuits consisting of millions of transistors. This specialization includes topics such as lowpower, highspeed, and reliable circuit design, hardwaresoftware codesign, design verification, design of multiFPGA systems, and CAD techniques.
Embedded Systems Design
This area focuses on the use of digital hardware to monitor and control physical systems. Topics include discretedynamics systems, digital controllers, analogtodigital converters, microprocessorbased design and the study of economic tradeoffs of different software and hardware systems.
Robotics
This area focuses on computer vision, pattern recognition and robotics. Emphasis in on the software and hardware aspects of robotic design. Topics include robotic control, kinematics, differential relations, dynamic motion and homogeneous transformations.
Laboratory And Computer Facilities
First paragraph remains the same.
The rest of the section is revised as follows.
Facilities for electrical and computer engineering include laboratories in digital systems design, microprocessor systems, microprogramming, computer communication networks, robotics, computeraided design and computer networking.
The department has major research facilities for work in distributed computing systems, database systems, computer vision, robotics, solidstate devices, fiber optics, lasers, computational electromagnetics, electronic materials and biomedical engineering. The department also has access to the facilities of the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and the Materials Research Center. Students in the department who are working in collaboration with faculty at university laboratories and research centers also have access to appropriate facilities at those laboratories.
The department also maintains the ECE Computing Laboratory which has many networked workstations and appropriate software to support class work and projects. The machines are also connected to external networks, allowing offsite computing.
Undergraduate majors in the department are entitled to accounts on departmental computers which are generally more powerful and less heavily used than university computers.
