ECE Colloquium Series

The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Colloquium Series features distinguished speakers from across the nation, and also provides venues in which ECE faculty can showcase their research to a broad audience of their colleagues and students.

col•lo•qui•um [kuh-loh-kwee-uhm]: A colloquium is a type of academic lecture that is offered to a broader audience than the audience of a seminar. Audience members are not expected to have detailed specialist knowledge of the subject matter.
