Campus Overview

Founded in 1907, the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa is the flagship campus of the University of Hawaiʻi System. A destination of choice, students and faculty come from across the nation and the world to take advantage of UH Mānoa’s unique research opportunities, diverse community, nationally-ranked Division I athletics program, and beautiful landscape. Consistently ranked a “best value” among U.S. colleges and universities, our students get a great education and have a unique multicultural global experience in a Hawaiian place of learning—truly like no place else on earth.

The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa is accredited by the Senior Commission of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). WASC, one of six regional accrediting agencies recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, evaluates and accredits schools, colleges, and universities in California, Hawaiʻi, and the Pacific Islands. UH Mānoa has been fully accredited since 1955.

UHM Media Center

The Media Center is located in the Sinclair Library at 2425 Campus Road.  The facility is dedicated to all areas of digital production and animation.  The center has a sound room, multi-purpose room, and an open flex space for students to use.  The Media Center checks out grip, lighting, camera and sound equipment.

Program Overview

The Ambient Computing Laboratory at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa’s College of Engineering develops advanced cyber-physical systems that combine interactive multimedia with the unique research possibilities offered by the billions of connected devices that are increasingly connected to the Internet. This evolution of the Internet, known as the Internet of Things (IoT), is well underway, with the current 20 billion connected devices projected to surpass 75 billion devices by the year 2025.

The Ambient Lab’s research focuses on several Hawai’i-specific needs, such as remote collaboration, distance education and connected healthcare. Together with UH System’s Academy for Creative Media (ACM System), the lab also helps foster UH’s emerging Computational Media study program, which trains students and working professionals in the areas of video game development, virtual and augmented reality, and digital storytelling and filmmaking.

Recognizing the strategic value of this ongoing digital transformation, ACM System’s Founder and Director, Chris Lee, has spent over fifteen years developing Hawai’i as a center of excellence in media. Lee, who previously served as president of production for both TriStar Pictures and Columbia Pictures, established ACM System in 2003 to promote integrated multimedia, arts, and technology education in Hawai’i as a catalyst for creating 21st century knowledge-based jobs across the islands. Lee has been instrumental raising the public and private capital needed to fund its activities, building initiatives, and attracting visionary researchers—like Carlson to UH in 2016.

Carlson’s appointment complements ACM System’s ongoing support of UH Professor Jason Leigh’s Laboratory for Advanced Visualization & Applications (LAVA) at UH Mānoa. Since 2014, LAVA has served as a dynamic maker space and innovation hub at UH, where researchers develop a wide range of big data visualization techniques for science, engineering and training. LAVA also forms the core of the Hawai’i Data Science Institute, which serves the data intensive science, engineering and training needs of UH System’s 10 campuses.

Program Overview

The Electrical & Computer Engineering department at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa was formed in 1959 with a baccalaureate degree program. The first graduating class received a B.S. degree in 1961. Our M.S. degree program was started in 1961, and our doctoral (Ph.D.) degree program was initiated in 1966. The first Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering was granted by the University in 1969. The famous wireless communication protocol, ALOHA, was invented by our faculty in the 1970s.

The Department of Information and Computer Sciences and the Department of Electrical Engineering offer a joint Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering (BS CE).  The BSCE degree program provides you with the opportunity to learn about computer hardware and software, computer organization and architecture, computer security, software engineering, computer networks and Internet technology, embedded systems, computer-aided design, multi-core and parallel computing, wireless networks, and other topics.

As an electrical or computer engineer, you will work at the heart of the most rapidly developing technology humankind has ever seen. Electrical engineers design and build electronic devices, process data and signals, sense things, control things, power things, and connect things and people, and lots more! Electrical engineering is one of the broadest of all engineering degrees, allowing students to move into virtually any area. Computer engineering is a discipline that combines electrical engineering with computer science, training students to have good understanding in both hardware and software. Electrical and computer engineering are among the top requested majors by potential employers.
