ECE Ranks Among "Top Ten" Institutions for Percentage of IEEE Fellows

As illustrated below, the percentage of IEEE Fellows in the ECE Department is comparable to – or better than – the country’s most prestigious schools that are ranked in the top ten by U.S. News and World Report’s graduate specialty rankings. Outpacing in-state competitors and boasting a higher rate of Fellows than MIT, Purdue, and Carnegie Mellon, the ranking, based on data from July 2008, speaks to the quality and productivity of CSU’s electrical and computer engineering faculty.

What is an IEEE Fellow?
The grade of Fellow recognizes unusual distinction in the profession and is conferred by the Board of Directors upon a person with an extraordinary record of accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest. A distinction that is not taken lightly, only the most accomplished scientists and researchers are elevated to this distinguished level. In any year no more than 0.1% of the IEEE members can be named a Fellow.
