Only Jake’s direct advisees are listed on this page, both Thesis and non-Thesis (comprehensive examination or Master’s project) degrees. Graduate committee work for other students is not listed.

At Boise State University the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) was established in 1996 along with the BSEE degree. The Masters and PhD degrees in ECE were then established in 2000 and 2006.
