The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at DigiPen Institute of Technology aims to educate the future generation of computer engineers and computer scientists and advance the state of the art needed to solve problems relevant to society. Foundational courses are offered on topics such as electronics and analog and digital circuits. Intermediate courses focus on areas such as embedded systems, operating systems, programmable logic, signal processing, and control systems. Project courses are offered to each cohort allowing students to conceive, design, build, and test software and hardware systems. Faculty bring wide-ranging experience and conduct theoretical and applied research with undergraduate students in embedded systems, programmable logic, robotics, remote sensing, and signal processing.

Charles Duba, Ph.D.
Vice President of Institutional Advancement and Strategic Initiatives
Professor
Charles Duba earned a BS in Physics from UC San Diego, and an MS and Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Washington at the Center for Experimental Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics. His dissertation project was on electronics for the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, where he helped prove the solution to the long-standing “Solar Neutrino Problem.” He continues to work on neutrino detection experiments, currently with HALO, a long-term supernova neutrino detector at the SNO lab in Sudbury.
