B.S.E. in Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineering is a dynamic and progressive branch of the engineering profession which has pioneered the development of the modern science-oriented engineering curriculum. Today's electrical engineer is a leader among those who work toward making our world better. The electrical engineering program prepares a student to select from a broad range of career possibilities in design, development, manufacturing, sales, administration, and research.

Fundamentally, electrical engineering deals with the controlled application of electricity to the solution of real problems. This includes such things as motors, transistors, integrated circuits, and lasers as well as larger physical systems for which these are components: electrical power generating and distribution systems, communication networks, and computers. It is also concerned with the flow of electricity in the human body and with the transmission of signals between planets.

Whether in the design and construction of systems to televise pictures from the planets or to insure the reliable completion of a phone call to a next-door neighbor, whether to map the geography and the resources of the earth from a satellite or to display harmlessly the internal anatomy of a living being for medical diagnosis, electrical engineering is intimately involved with almost every realm of human endeavor.

Measurement, control, computation, communication, energy conversion in these and other technical areas, provide students an excellent preparation for positions of leadership in a world where science, engineering, and human relations are of basic importance in improving the quality of life.

B.S.E. in Computer Engineering
The Computer Engineering Bachelor's degree program is designed to provide a thorough educational experience at a basic level to students who meet the admission criteria of the College of Engineering and Computer Science. The program offers a 125 credit hour curriculum consisting of required core courses and technical electives, providing hands-on experience with computers, high performance workstations, and other microprocessor-based systems. Students with an interest in pursuing graduate studies and engineers wishing to work in a research and development environment would be encouraged to work on research projects under the supervision of qualified faculty advisors. Co-op opportunities are available after successfully completing a prescribed set of courses.

Computer Engineering deals with design of hardware such as microprocessors, digital circuits and networks and software such as data structures, programming languages and intelligent systems. Computer engineers have the ability to design special purpose hardware and software for specific engineering applications such as robotics, ignition control in an automobile, and software for machine learning and intelligence. Computer engineers are well trained in electronic circuit design.

Computer Scientists address the efficient use of computers for many commercial applications. Computer Scientists deal with data structures, network security, programming languages and compilers. They are well trained in software development.

Dual Degree Program
Undergraduate students majoring in Computer Engineering may also pursue a concurrent B.S.E. degree in Electrical Engineering. The Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering Concurrent Degrees Program enables students to earn two degrees at the same time: a B.S.E. degree in Computer Engineering and a B.S.E. degree in Electrical Engineering. The CE and EE Concurrent Degrees Program requires a minimum of 16 credit hours of additional coursework beyond the 125 credits required for the B.S.E. in Computer Engineering alone.
