Faculty & Staff

The Electrical Engineering faculty are dedicated to refining the ever-changing body of knowledge specified by basic engineering principles and modern high-technology developments. The support staff is likewise dedicated to providing student assistance as well as technical support of the faculty. The Electrical Engineering faculty is primarily tenured and tenure-track full-time professors. Additional academic and curricular support is provided by emeritus faculty members and high-quality lecturers.

The focus of Cal Poly Electrical Engineering faculty members is two-fold. First, faculty members combine their considerable industrial and research experience with current projects to offer students an educational experience based in a modern context. The varied faculty interests are evident by the number and quality of projects they develop and supervise. Second, faculty members are dedicated to on-going improvements to the Electrical Engineering curriculum commensurate with technological advancements and to convey current engineering knowledge and practice.
