Electrical and Computer Engineering

Often viewed as the “invisible” technology, electrical and computer engineering shapes some of the most important aspects of modern life: smartphones, laptops, fitness trackers, as well as such key systems as electric vehicles and AI-enabled robots, to name just a few! The breadth of systems influenced by electrical and computer engineers is truly enormous, reaching everything from medical imaging and devices to 6G networks to renewable energy infrastructure. 

Electrical and computer engineering is indeed in “where the magic happens”! It is the perfect destination for students who are: innately curious, love to tinker, and dream of designing, building and implementing devices and systems that will positively impact the world around us.

This is an amazing time to develop the skills that will transform the future. Technology is advancing at a dizzying rate, propelled largely by recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), whose demands for enormous amounts of energy and data processing have driven a whole new “moonshot” to harness these technologies for national advantage. AI is embedded in countless personal applications and used on the large scale for grid optimization and traffic control.

The move toward electric vehicles (EVs) completely reinvents the age-old transportation framework as we envision a new electrified transportation infrastructure. This move requires the application of new battery control technologies as well as smart charging stations, and even in-road charging!  All tackled by electrical and computer engineers.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) offers a program of coursework and hands-on learning that leads to undergraduate (BSEE) and graduate (MSEE) degrees in Electrical Engineering and an undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering (BSCpE), which is offered jointly with the Department of Computer Science. The Department also offers a PhD in Engineering - Concentration in Electrical Engineering
