MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

The MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS)[1] is an engineering department of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It offers degrees of Master of Science, Master of Engineering, Doctor of Philosophy, and Doctor of Science.[2]

History

The curriculum for the electrical engineering program was created in 1882, and was the first such program in the country.[3] It was initially taught by the physics faculty. In 1902, the Institute set up a separate Electrical Engineering department. The department was renamed to Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in 1975, to highlight the new addition of computer science to the program.[4]
