Concerning the contacting of faculty

If you are interested in contacting ECE Professors directly, please be sure to read their websites very carefully.  Professors receive a large number of inquiries about admissions each year.  They are very busy and have little time to reply to each request.  Be sure to you are VERY specific about your required information and do your homework about their research and their lab.  They generally DO NOT reply to general inquiries sent to many faculty members.
