PRESENTATION OUTLINE

ECE in every industry

Electrical and Computer Engineering

Beginning in the late 1800’s, WPI’s Electrical Engineering Department was one of the first in the nation.

Today you will find teams of faculty members and students melding ideas and initiative to address the vital challenges of our time.

A team of WPI researchers is developing a system designed to locate and track the movement and health of emergency workers inside burning buildings. The system will enable site commanders to continuously monitor firefighters' movements and guide them to safety.

A better way to detect

Breast Cancer

There is growing evidence that MRI is more accurate than mammography, but it is currently too expensive for routine cancer screening. Professor Reinhold Ludwig's work with magnetic coils is leading the way to images that are faster—and therefore cheaper—to produce.

SDR and Cognitive Radio

Researchers at WPI's Wireless Innovation Laboratory are rethinking the way RF spectrum is utilized, developing new software-defined radio (SDR) and cognitive technology to enable dynamic spectrum access.

Wireless Information

Network Research

Professor Pahlavan’s Center for Wireless Information Network Studies and discover how wireless propagation and geolocation pose unique challenges in an indoor environment.
