Email & Calendar
The course of history is littered with examples of newer, faster, better, superior technologies arising and surpassing their contemporaries. Communication services are no different. A few hundred years ago, messages were being delivered by men on the backs of ponies. Soon, this changed to trains, then motorized vehicles, then jet airliners. But today, I do not even have to write out my letter and give the post office the money for a stamp, because I have e-mail.
All students at NC State are provided with a university email account and access to Oracle™ Calendar, an online calendar program.

Mailing Lists
In the ECE Department, eveyone has their own mailing lists. All Undergraduate Students are automatically subscribed to the ece-ugrad@lists.ncsu.edu mailing list. All information sent via this list is directed to the student's official NCSU email address (ie. userid@ncsu.edu Email addresses outside the university will not be used for this purpose. Subscription to this mailing list is mandatory for students as long as they remain in the ECE department and serves as a means of communicating official departmental information. Although undergraduate students are subscribed to this list, posting to this list is restricted to the ECE Administration only.
Similar to the mailing list used for undergraduate students within the ECE department, graduate students are also automatically subscribed to their own mailing list: ece-grad@lists.ncsu.edu. All of the restrictions mentioned above apply to this list as well.
In addition to the mailing lists provided to students within the department, faculty and staff mailing lists are also available (including lists focused on individual areas of research). For more information on these lists (including how to subscribe), please visit http://www.ece.ncsu.edu/tools/mailclerk.
IEEESB provides an additional (optional) mailing list to students who are interested in joining. See http://www.ieee.ncsu.edu/ for additional information.
If you are associated with the ECE department and wish to create a mailing list, please contact ece-webmaster@ncsu.edu.
