ECE Facilities
Built in 1931, Ferris Hall is representative of the many classically beautiful buildings on The University of Tennessee’s campus. In addition to Ferris Hall, the Department occupies a significant amount of space in the Science and Engineering Building.
Through the efforts of the faculty and generous support from alumni and friends, the ECE Department benefits from a number of laboratory facilities, which support the undergraduate teaching program. The laboratories are used for practical work in circuits, communications, computers, digital systems, electronics, image processing, robotics, machinery, plasma, and power electronics and drives. Furthermore, computer facilities are provided for student use in the Department. In addition to laboratories, Ferris Hall has classrooms on the fifth floor. You will receive most of your electrical and computer engineering instruction in these classrooms. Most of the faculty offices are on the third and fourth floors. Vending machines (snacks and soft drinks) are also located on the second floor. The Student Activities Area on the first floor has well equipped study space, meeting space, and offices for the student organizations.
Ferris Hall is built on the side of a hill. When you enter in the front entrance at ground level (on the up-hill side) you are already on the fourth floor of the building. The back-door service entrances are on the downhill side, on the first and second floors. The building has been furnished with access ramps for disabled persons on the second and third floors, and an elevator to other floors is provided inside. Every effort is made to keep the building clean and tidy. We hope you will be proud enough of your chosen major that you will help us keep it that way.
