Hands-on Experience
¶¶Òõ̽̽’s Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) program offers an ABET-accredited B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering (EE). This degree program emphasizes hands-on experience with a curriculum that requires three semesters of laboratory experience in circuits and electronics.
In addition, you can take courses in microprocessor-based design, signal processing, communication systems, and energy systems that further expand your time in the laboratory. The curriculum also embeds engineering design into each year culminating in a team-based, interdisciplinary senior design project. Through this dynamic approach, you will continuously develop the practical skills and engineering know-how that leading employers and graduate schools are seeking.
A Flexible Curriculum
The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) program features a broad range of disciplines with graduating Electrical Engineers working on everything from high-power electric grids to low-power circuitry for smart devices and from medical instrumentation to fiber optics communications. As such, our general curriculum has a significant amount of flexibility enabling you to customize your experience to your interests.
As a student-centered program, Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) allows students to pursue an EE degree with one or more focus areas. While students receive the same degree regardless of the focus area, they can choose technical electives that support these tracks to gain a depth of knowledge in their area of interest:

Objectives and Outcomes
ECE Program Objectives
The educational objectives of ¶¶Òõ̽̽’s Electrical and Computer Engineering program are to provide our graduates with disciplinary breadth and depth to fulfill complex professional and societal expectations by:
- Pursuing careers as practicing engineers or using their program knowledge in a wide range of other professional, educational and service activities.
- Assuming leadership roles and seeking continuous professional development.
- Contributing to their profession and society while appreciating the importance of ethical and sustainable practices, diversity, and inclusion.
ECE Student Outcomes
The Student Outcomes of the B.S. in Electrical Engineering degree program directly relate to the ABET (1)-(7) Criterion 3 Student Outcomes and are as follows:
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
- An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
- An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
- An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
- An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
- An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
