The program places emphasis on the fundamentals of science and mathematics and their application to the solution of contemporary problems that are within the purview of professional electrical engineers. The program is designed to establish a sound scientific basis for continuous growth in professional competence.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers two undergraduate programs and a concentration leading to a Bachelor of Science degree. The computer engineering program provides students the opportunity to customize their program through core electives in computer architecture, computer networks, and VLSI design and focus electives in hardware or software tracks. The program in electrical engineering allows students to choose their major electives from seven areas including: electromagnetics, power, integrated circuits/VLSI, solid-state electronics/electroptics, communications/signal processing, control/robotics, and biomedical engineering. In addition, students can choose a biomedical engineering concentration that is noted on the student's transcript.
