Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
The Bachelor of Science degree program in Electrical Engineering accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc. (http://www.abet.org)
Microsoft Scholarship Program for Cybersecurity and Computer Engineering Majors
Program of Study
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers undergraduate programs:
- Electrical Engineering
- Electrical Engineering with Computer Engineering Option
Students in both programs will earn a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE). The option consists of a concentration on advanced digital system design courses that introduce advanced design topics such as VHDL Advanced Computer Architecture, and VLSI. Students who select the computer engineering option will receive a notation of the concentration in computer engineering on their transcript upon graduation.
