Description
The CSEE Department has about 25 full-time faculty members, including a Curators' professor, a UMKC Trustee's professor and two Fulbright Senior Specialists. Our faculty is at the forefront in research with funding from NSF and industries. We have strong partnerships with:
- Black & Veach
- Burns & McDonnell
- Cerner
- General Electric
- Honeywell
- Sprint Nextel
most of which are headquartered in the Kansas City area.
In the life sciences area, we are strenghtening partnerships with life and health sciences schools at UMKC and life sciences partners in the Kansas City area through the Kansas City Area Life Sciences Institute (KCALSI).
We have research strengths in the following areas:
- Networking and Telecommunications (design, protocols, routing, security, teletraffic modeling, monitoring, performance modeling, RF/wireless communication, optical, mobile computing, sensors, queueing theory, graph algorithms, etc.).
- Software Engineering and Systems (object-oriented design and analysis, database/information management, middleware, intelligent agents, peer-to-peer computing, mobile databases, data mining, knowledge discovery, intrusion detection, etc.).
- Bio-Informatics (biological data mining, functional property based protein databases, intelligent software agents in biology, biometric signal processing, computational genomics, etc.).
- Communications, Signal and Image Processing (digital signal processing, computational electromagnetics, RF and antenna theory and design, biomedical image processing, biometrics, neural networks, etc.).
- Computer Engineering (VLSI chip design, performance, low power devices, cache designs, embedded systems, system-on-chip, ASIC/FPGA design).
- Algorithms (complexity, distributed and parallel computations, graph, optimization, and combinatorial algorithms).
The CSEE department is committed to excellence in teaching. We stay on the top of the technology curve and continually offer new courses in emerging/hot topics. Our graduates are sought after by regional as well as national companies.
Approximately 575 students were enrolled in the CSEE department in the Fall 2006 semester: 330 at the undergraduate level (all degree programs), 210 at the masters level (both CS and EE), and 35 students participated in UMKC's Interdisciplinary Ph.D. program through a discipline in CSEE.
