About EE301

  • The EE 301 seminar course is offered to first-year PhD students in Electrical Engineering. All students (PhD, M.S. and B.S.) and faculty in the department are welcome to attend.

This also allows new PhD students to learn about research in EE, help them with rotation choices as well as choosing a professor to align with.

  • The class will meet in person in room Shriram 104
