School of Engineering

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers a degree program in Electrical Engineering, as well as a degree program in Computer Engineering in conjunction with the computer science department of the School of Science.

Electrical Engineering 

The Electrical Engineering program was founded in 1892 and has been in existence continuously since 1935. The department offers a strong contemporary curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering degree.

Wide in scope and variety, electrical engineering ranges from design of solid state devices and increasingly complex microcircuits to design of communication systems or large scale power generating equipment and plants to meet society's accelerating demand for clean energy. The fundamental principles of information processing and control inherent in an electrical engineer's background find applications in such diverse areas as industry and medicine.

Computer Engineering

The application of computer-based technology is growing at a phenomenal rate. In fact, it pervades our lives. As a result, there is ongoing demand for engineers who can build complex systems which integrate computer hardware and software. This has given rise to the field of computer engineering. By combining the core courses in electrical engineering and computer science, the computer engineering curriculum prepares students to enter this challenging new field.
