ECE Undergraduate Programs

Program History

The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department was founded in 1984. The Electrical and Computer Engineering department offers the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) with an approved track in Computer Engineering and also CyberSecurity. The program is primarily offered on campus although there are some online course offerings.  The last accreditation review for the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering was conducted in Fall of 2019 with a pending review in Fall of 2025.

ECE Undergraduate Program

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering provides its students the opportunity to apply mathematical and physical concepts to engineering problems early in the curriculum, through laboratory and design experiences. The Department has been following the philosophy of design across the curriculum for some time. In addition to the strong design experience integrated throughout the required courses, the electives offer students the opportunity to enhance their skills with additional open-ended problem solving. These problems are broad-based, incorporating knowledge from specialty areas of communications systems, signal processing, smart embedded systems, artificial intelligence, wireless communications, power systems, microwave systems, microelectronics, controls and automation, computer engineering, and cyber-security.   The computer engineering and cyber security emphases are special components of the electrical engineering (EE) program, where the Department offers concentrations in these areas within its EE program. This expands and rounds out the program by providing the necessary tools to meet the demands of the information age.
