Second Year

Develop an open-ended project of your choice and learn the importance of project management, testing, and teamwork.

Third Year

Get into the nitty-gritty of ECE coursework that will build your foundation and prepare you for the big project in senior design.

Fourth Year

Your knowledge will culminate in senior design with a unique project that addresses a real-world problem.

Choosing

Between Majors

Computer Engineering vs. Electrical Engineering

Solving society’s most pressing challenges requires insights from multiple disciplines. Electrical engineers, computer engineers, and computer scientists all play a vital role in helping shape a better world – and there is considerable overlap between the disciplines.

Computer engineering takes a holistic view of innovation. Computer engineers are well versed in computational theory and electrical engineering principles, allowing them to understand the interplay between hardware and software to drive new technologies.

Electrical engineers develop solutions closest to the physical world, or the end-product. They are the brains behind the physical devices and hardware that enable everything from biomedical imaging tools to satellite sensors.

Computer scientists understand the coding and software that underpin new technologies but are further removed from the physical design of next-generation devices or systems. Computer engineers often serve as a bridge between EE and CS to enable cutting-edge solutions because of their broad understanding of all three fields.
