Undergraduate students in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) will graduate with a bachelor of science (BS) in electrical and computer engineering. Areas of focus in the BS in ECE include signals, communications, and image processing, integrated circuits, computer engineering, waves and fields, semiconductor devices, and robotics. Training in ECE prepares students for a wide range of careers from traditional engineering, research, and development to more non-traditional careers in law, finance, and other areas.
Our mission is to empower our students to be leaders, pursue their academic and professional passions, and model partnerships with educational, civic, cultural, health, and business communities. We will teach our graduates how to create innovative connections with various sectors. We will also teach them to value ethics, and diverse perspectives. Our graduates will serve their communities by developing programs which will improve the world around them. We will strengthen our faculty so that they are dedicated to teaching, mentoring, researching, thinking creatively, and recognizing the role of engineering in modern society.
The educational objective of the undergraduate program in electrical and computer engineering are that:
Our graduates have the intellectual breadth and critical reasoning skills to enable them to successfully pursue diverse career paths, both within the engineering profession and in other areas, such as law, medicine, and business. Our graduates possess the skills to work productively in collaborative environments. Our graduates can communicate effectively both within the technical community and with the public at large. Our graduates appreciate the social impacts of engineering and the need to maintain the highest ethical standards in the practice of their chosen profession. Our graduates are creative and passionate about research. Our graduates have an enthusiasm for lifelong inquiry.
