History

Established in 1985, the NIU College of Engineering and Engineering Technology is the youngest college on the Northern Illinois University (NIU) campus. CEET enrollment has increased every year despite a decrease in national enrollments. [1]

In June 2016, the NIU College of Engineering and Engineering Technology announced Omar A. Ghrayeb, Ph.D as interim dean, effective June 30. [2]

Departments

Research

CEET faculty are engaged in a broad array of research sponsored by private industry and agencies such as: [3]

Ongoing research addresses issues in Homeland Security, energy and environment, lean manufacturing, active noise and vibration control, supply chain management, biodegradable products, P-20, computational engineering, biomedical engineering, nanoscience, health systems engineering, wireless communications, power electronics, radio frequency, mechatronics, computational fluid dynamics, and more. [4]

Facilities

Engineering Building: The main NIU College of Engineering and Engineering Technology building is designed to teach students concepts in the classroom.

Students also have access to laboratories featuring wind tunnels, a sound-proof acoustics testing chamber, and labs dedicated to work in fields like bio-signal analysis and electrodynamics.

Still Hall and Still Gym: The CEET Department of Technology is housed in the historic Still Hall and Still Gym. Opened in 1928, the buildings were among some of the first built on campus and originally housed a gymnasium, Industrial Arts Laboratories, classrooms, rooms for printing, book binding, metal work and mechanical drawing.

Today the buildings house 13 laboratories for students working on robotics, digital communications, plastics injection molding, pneumatics and hydraulics and rapid prototyping of mechanical parts. The buildings also include workshops for metal working and welding.

Computer Labs: Computer labs are located in each building.

Laboratories

CEET has 35 laboratories. [5]
