BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering

Build Your Future, Hands-On

If you learn best by doing, you belong here. We prioritize active, project-based learning that puts real equipment in your hands in your first quarters of study. You'll immediately begin developing your technical toolkit, giving you more time to master the skills that employers actually care about.

From the Classroom to the Lab

Our curriculum is built around hands-on learning. You’ll spend your time in project-based labs, tackling real-world design challenges that sharpen your practical skills. This work directly prepares you for your senior year, where you'll bring all your knowledge together in an impressive, year-long capstone design project.

Find Your Focus

Every student builds a powerful foundation in the fundamentals of electrical and computer engineering, including digital and analog electronics, embedded microcontrollers, communications systems, control theory, and other core courses. From there, you can specialize in an area that excites you most, such as exciting fields like Electronics, Energy, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Wireless Networking and Signal Processing.

Electronics concentration

The Electronics concentration focuses on the development, design, and application of circuits, devices, and firmware for embedded systems, and includes advanced digital and analog electronics content.

Energy concentration

The Energy concentration addresses the sources, generation, control, and utilization of electric power, energy conversion and storage, and smart power topics such as system analysis, protection and stability, solid state motor control, and industrial process control systems. Projects are normally interdisciplinary, in collaboration with faculty in the Institute for Energy Studies.

Wireless Networking and Signal Processing concentration

The Wireless Networking and Signal Processing concentration offers courses in digital signal processing, advanced communication systems, and networking technologies, and leads to an understanding of the design of wireless communication systems and networks.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning concentration

The Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning concentration focuses on techniques that process and analyze data to enable machines to make predictions and decisions to accomplish complex tasks, and provides an overview of the use of ML and AI in engineering, the fundamental principles and algorithms, and the impact of ML and AI on humans and society.

In addition, students in the major may propose a custom concentration in consultation with their faculty advisor. All Higher Level EECE Electives and the academic terms in which they will be taken must be specified. Also, the proposed custom concentration must be approved by the Program Director. If approved, the student will be granted registration privileges for one of the existing capstone project sequences.
