¡¡Un saludo a todos!!
Estamos en un momento crucial para la historia de la humanidad. Momentos como este permiten cambios y adaptaciones en los seres humanos para superar con éxito los retos que nos presenta el mundo. Vivimos una sociedad tecnológica donde el 5G, la automatización industrial, la remotización del trabajo y la enseñanza son los nuevos pilares de la sociedad a nivel académico. En la Universidad Politécnica de Puerto Rico nos hemos ido adaptando a la nueva realidad de cara a las necesidades sociales y tecnológicas desde hace ya algún tiempo. Al inicio de este año 2020, nos vimos en la necesidad de acelerar, por causas naturales, nuestros servicios en forma remota, los cuales ya teníamos avanzados debido a la visión institucional y corroborada por la realidad vivida en el 2017 (Huracán María).
Las necesidades actuales requieren, aún más que antes, mejores preparaciones académicas del Departamento de Ingeniería Eléctrica y de Computadoras y Ciencias de Computadoras para atemperar la realidad tecnológica mundial. Áreas como telecomunicaciones modernizadas, servicios remotos, seguridad cibernética, virtualización de negocios, sistemas de potencia con generación eco amigable, entre otras.
Nuestra visión atiende todas y cada una de estas áreas de ingeniería y ciencias de cómputo, permitiendo al estudiante una capacitación de cara a las necesidades actuales. Nuestros estudiantes y egresados demuestran con su aceptación en agencias como NSA, NASA, FBI, Homeland Security, Boeing, agencias locales gubernamentales, y muchas empresas privadas en Puerto Rico y los Estados Unidos. Las credenciales de nuestra institución en la formación de su disciplina y su desempeño como profesionales.
Nuestro departamento consta de profesores altamente capacitados para atender las siguientes áreas de la Ingeniería y las Ciencias de Cómputo, como: Potencia Eléctrica, Energía Renovable, Controles Automáticos, Procesamiento de Señales Digitales, Comunicaciones Digitales, Algoritmos y Lenguajes, Diseño de Sistemas Digitales, Redes, Arquitectura y Organización Informática, Diseño y Análisis de Algoritmos, Diseño de Interfaz, Base de Datos, y en nuestra nueva área de “Smart Grid Power Systems.” Para los próximos años continuaremos expandiendo nuestros ofrecimientos a otras áreas como: “Data Analytics”, “Data Mining”, Sistemas de Energía Autosostenible, Controles Industriales, y “Machine Learning”.
Nuestros programas de Ingeniería Eléctrica e Ingeniería de Computadoras están acreditados por el Engineering Accreditation Commission de ABET. El programa de Ciencias de Computadoras está acreditado por el Computing Accreditation Commission de ABET.
¡Les damos la bienvenida a nuestro departamento! Estamos para orientarte sobre nuestros ofrecimientos académicos al (787) 622-8000 extensiones 344, 472 y 340.

Our society is increasingly dependent on the generation and distribution of energy in the form of electricity, and continues to develop at an accelerated pace electronic communication devices and computers designed to capture, create, process, transform, and distribute information. Electrical Engineering is one of the disciplines supporting the development and operation of this key infrastructure. It has evolved from the study of fundamental electrical principles to encompass sophisticated communication and computation techniques.
Computer Engineering is a rapidly changing field that covers a wide range of topics concerned with the design, implementation and programming of computers and digital systems. Computer engineers develop integrated hardware and software systems and apply these to the creative solution of problems in government and business. These solutions are key enablers to our economic development and social welfare. A sample of the range of solutions created by Computer Engineers include: industrial and military control systems, database management systems, health care information systems, networked systems, end-user embedded computer controlled products, and computer-aided design tools to automate and leverage human performance in many other disciplines.
Today, the field of computer science is one of the most popular academic disciplines in universities across the nation. Computer Scientists build computer-aided design tools, manage information technology enterprises, build business information systems (including banking and automotive systems), build healthcare information systems, design and support networks such as wide area networks and cellular telephony, and design end-user embedded computer-controlled products and systems such as smart cards and vision recognition systems.
