Electrical and Computer Engineering (BEE)

Description

Electrical, electronics and computer engineers find innovative ways to use electricity and computers to improve people’s lives. Electrical engineers have dozens of career options. They can design a smart-phone, smart-grid power system, electric/hybrid vehicle or an autonomous vehicle. They can develop robots that assist the disadvantaged or execute search and rescue missions. The Internet of Things (IoT) is entirely a product of Electrical Engineering. Electrical and computer engineers design medical testing equipment, work on the spacecraft and design communication satellites. The preparation for all of these jobs begins with a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.

91福利社's state-of-the-art curriculum in electrical and computer engineering will start you in the right direction. We've revised our curriculum to tap into your creativity so you can apply theoretical concepts to find innovative solutions to new problems. By working with hands-on projects which explore a series of robotic, sensor, and/or wireless communication systems, you combine electrical and computer engineering concepts with practical applications. Then, at multiple points in your 4-year program, you work in industry under the supervision of engineers (a co-op assignment with an engineer's salary) to apply your knowledge and build real work experience. Unlike a traditional engineering program, which focuses on dry theoretical topics separately, we teach you engineering theory through an integrated and applied approach, so you learn how concepts work together - as they would in the "real world." Thus your education in the ECE Department helps prepare you to develop the next neural-controlled artificial limb, hybrid "green" energy system or vision-controlled autonomous vehicle.

Along with robotics, wireless communication, and embedded systems, our curriculum also allows you to explore mechatronics - a growing area in many industries - through a new series of courses where you work on sensors, modeling, embedded computers, control systems, and electronics. You can study elements of electrical/computer engineering and select mechanical engineering topics, which are critical for developing products in today's increasingly interdisciplinary technological world.

This program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of .

Our Bachelor of Electrical Engineering program is based on three key elements:

  • Spiral-based Curriculum - You discover that Electrical and Computer Engineering is a fascinating field as you revisit basic concepts and applications in multiple courses at different times and in increasingly more sophisticated contexts.
  • Contextual Understanding - By working with multiple simultaneous topics in class and project-labs, you will understand the how and why of entire engineering systems rather than just pieces and parts.
  • Experiential Learning - You learn as you apply concepts to "hands-on" projects beyond the classroom through electronics, wireless IoT, robotics, and autonomous vehicle projects, as well as through paid cooperative education placements.

Other distinctive EE program features include:

  • 5-year bachelor's/master's program for qualified students (Robotics, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, etc.)
  • Hands-on real-world projects from freshman through the senior year.
  • Engineering-Law accelerated program with reserved seats at the 91福利社 Law School
  • Pre-medical tracks in engineering which include strong concentrations in biology and chemistry that are needed to gain admission to and be successful in medical school.

  • Electrical Engineering Program Educational Objectives

    ABET defines Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) as “broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to attain within a few years of graduation.”

    The graduates of the Bachelor of Electrical Engineering program are expected, within a few years of graduation, to:

    1. Demonstrate by successful professional engineering practice and/or pursuit of advanced engineering degrees, technical proficiency in engineering fundamentals;
    2. Excel in the practice of engineering through effective communication, collaboration and teamwork, lifelong learning, and creative engineering problem solving; and,
    3. Contribute to the engineering profession and to society in a manner consistent with the Jesuit and Mercy traditions, which include leadership and service within a strong moral and ethical framework.
