When he invented the phone in 1878, Alexander Graham Bell,
who from 1874 to 1879 was a professor at Boston University, originally
intended to transmit multiple telegraph messages over a single wire at
one time
using different tones. This multiplexing principle underlies the amazing
revolution in telecommunication and networking, disciplines that are being advanced
today in the ECE Department at BU.

Welcome
to the ECE Department
| Boston University's Electrical and Computer Engineering
Department is where students and faculty work together
on electronic and photonic devices, information systems and sciences, and
computer
systems engineering. We combine these hardware and software
disciplines to create tomorrow's technologies.

an interdisciplinary team of distinguished scientists who collaborate
at Boston University's Center for Nanoscience and Nanobiotechnology.
They are pictured in the center's nanophotonics laboratory, dedicated
to developing technologies that integrate nanobiotechnology,
photonics, and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). For more
