Welcome to the ECE Department

Boston University's Electrical and Computer Engineering Department is where students and faculty work together on electronic and photonic devices, information systems and sciences, and computer systems engineering. We combine these hardware and software disciplines to create tomorrow's technologies. Postdoctoral researcher Roman Shubochkin, graduate student Bob Chivas, and ECE Professor Ted Morse observe the lathing process in Prof. Morse's Laboratory for Lightwave Technology. The lathe heats glass tubes to 2,000 degrees Celsius until they collapse to form rods. A single rod can produce hundreds of kilometers of optical fiber.
