Welcome

Welcome to the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University Department of Electronics, Computer and Information Technology Web site.

We've come a long way since we began operation shortly after passage of the Morrill Act of 1890. Back then we were created as the requisite "colored" counterpart to what is now North Carolina State University .

Our mission back then read in part: "... to teach practical agriculture and the mechanic arts and such branches of learning as relate thereto, not excluding academically and classical instruction."

Its interesting to note how our enterprise has evolved over the past hundred and six years to now include world class schools and colleges of technology, engineering, business, nursing, arts and sciences, and education as well as agriculture; offering bachelors, masters and Ph.D. degrees.

This is a testament to our rich heritage of strong leadership, dedicated faculty and staff and some of the brightest, most energetic and intelligent students in the world.

Obviously our department wasn't around in 1890 when things got started. But the same spirit of excellence that "possessed" the campus back then is evident in our department today. We hope these few pages can convey some of our excitement and energy and that you will be moved to accept our open invitation for a visit at your convenience.

Sincerely,

Ray J. Davis, Ph.D., Associate Dean
