The UCF College of Engineering and Computer Science is an academic
college ofUniversity of Central Florida located inOrlando ,Florida ,USA . The dean of the college is Neal C. Gallagher.Housing some of the university's showcase majors, the College of Engineering and Computer Science has three major divisions: the
Engineering andComputer Science Division (which houses UCF's School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science), the Engineering Technology Division, and the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) Division. The Engineering and Computer Science Division consists of the School ofElectrical Engineering & Computer Science (School of EECS) founded in 1999 as a result of the merger of the School of Computer Science with the Department of Electrical andComputer Engineering , plus three other engineering departments: the Civil andEnvironmental Engineering (CEE) Department, the Industrial Engineering and Management Systems (IEMS) Department, and the Mechanical, Materials and Aerospace Engineering (MMAE) Department. The Engineering Technology Division consists of theEngineering technology (ENT) Department. The ROTC Division consists of the Aerospace Studies Department (Air Force ROTC) and the Military Science Department (Army ROTC). Overall, the college offers more than 100 degree programs. UCF's College of Engineering & Computer Science was recently classified as a research university (very high research activity) by theCarnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching . This is the highest level of classification.chool of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
The Electrical Engineering and Computer Science have had many major accomplishments in their history. The Computer Science Programming Team placed 1st in the 2007 southeast ACM Regional Programming Competition and 44th in the international competition. The college’s now 25-year-old record of "top three in the southeast" continues. The Programming Team has placed as high as 2nd in past World Championships.

The college recently saw the completion of a third Engineering Building which was designed in 2000-2002 for the School of EECS with a $15 million allocation from the State of Florida. The Harris Corporation recently donated $6 million to the College of Engineering & Computer Science, causing the building's name to be the Harris Corporation Engineering Center.
