Electrical & Computer Engineering
Make the Difference in Society Through Smart Engineering!
The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs leading up to Ph.D. in Engineering and Computational Sciences (ENCS). Our undergraduate program offers a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BS.EE) and a concentration in Computer Engineering under the BS.EE degree.
The graduate programs offer a Master of Science in Engineering (MS.-ENGR) degree, and a Ph.D. in Engineering and Computational Sciences (Ph.D.-ENCS). The MS.-ENGR degree offers concentrations in Electrical Engineering, Computer and Information Systems Engineering (CISE), and Biomedical Engineering BMEN. The Electrical Engineering concentration offers emphasis in Cybersecurity of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), Renewable Energy and Power Systems, and Robotics and Autonomous Systems. The Ph.D.-ENCS offers concentrations in Engineering and Computational Sciences.
