EECS introduces students to major concepts in electrical engineering and computer science in an integrated and hands-on fashion. As students progress to increasingly advanced subjects, they gain considerable flexibility in shaping their own educational experiences.

Covering the full range of computer, information and energy systems, EECS brings the world’s most brilliant faculty and students together to innovate and explore.

After undertaking core classes in circuits, systems, and computer architecture, along with a grounding in computation, students can explore all areas of electrical engineering, from analog circuit design to computer engineering to quantum engineering to communications.

The largest graduate program in MIT’s School of Engineering, EECS has about 700 graduate students in the doctoral program at any given time.

The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science is the largest department at MIT, annually preparing hundreds of graduate and undergraduate students for career leadership in fields such as academia, research, and the high-technology industry.

Starting in Fall 2024, our 6-2 Electrical Engineering and Computer Science degree program will be renamed and renumbered as 6-5 Electrical Engineering with Computing.

World-renowned for both rigor and innovation, EECS is the largest undergraduate program at MIT. Our flexible curriculum and inventive, hands-on approach to coursework gives students a holistic view of the field, an understanding of how to solve problems, and a focus on modeling and abstraction that prepares them for success in a wide range of fields, from research to industry …

Open to EECS undergraduates in 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4, 6-7, and 6-14 programs, the MEng program allows students to earn a bachelor’s and master’s degree in five years ...
