The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
offers the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
(B.S.E.E.). The department also offers a Bachelor of Science
in Computer Engineering (B.S.CP.E.). Both degree
programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation
Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering
and Technology (ABET).
Minors in areas not listed below require approval from an
academic advisor and department chair (for more details,
see pages 162–165).
• Air Force Aerospace Studies
• Applied Mathematics
• Applied Solid State Physics
• Business
• Energy/Environment/Economics (E 3 )
• Military Science
• Naval Science
• Premedical Studies for Electrical Engineering
• Telecommunications
The B.S.E.E. curriculum provides a strong foundation in
mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science
during the first two years of study. The fundamentals of
circuits, electronics, digital and computer systems, electrodynamics,
linear systems, and energy conversion are
introduced in the second and third years. In the senior
year, students further explore their specific areas of interest
and gain in-depth exposure to engineering design
through the choice of elective courses.
The B.S.CP.E. curriculum concentrates on the design and
application of computer hardware and software systems.
During the first three years, the curriculum provides students
with a strong foundation in mathematics, physics,
chemistry, and computer science, followed by the fundamentals
of electrical engineering and computer science that
form the basis of computer engineering. During the senior
year, advanced courses provide students with depth in selected
areas and exposure to the practice of engineering
design. Elective courses provide the flexibility to take specialized
courses in a number of different areas.
Students with strong interests in both electrical engineering
and computer engineering can elect to earn a dual degree,
B.S.E.E./B.S.CP.E.
Students also have the option of completing the following
co-terminal degrees that enable a student to complete
both degrees in five years:
• Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering and Master
of Computer Science
• Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering and Master
of Science in Computer Science
• Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering and Master
of Electrical and Computer Engineering
• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Master
of Electrical and Computer Engineering
These programs allow students to complete a dual degree
in a shorter time period, to apply through a simplified admission
process, and to receive some financial incentives.
