An interdisciplinary team-based senior capstone project is the culmination of this technical education.

Students seeking a strong foundation for the next generation of computer technologies can pursue a computer engineering concentration within the electrical engineering program. This option produces high-demand engineers able to?develop both hardware and software solutions. Students learn computer design and?computer science in addition to?electrical engineering, signal processing, physics, mathematics, and the liberal arts.

Industry partnerships and affiliations result in a high employment rate of Fairfield engineering graduates into all sectors of business, government, and academia. Graduates of Fairfield?s electrical engineering program work in industries including power, electronics, robotics and automation, computer hardware and software design ? often leading research and development of new?systems and applications.

Fairfield's School of Engineering also has a Master of Science program that allows students to earn a combined?BS/MS degree in electrical and computer engineering,?in just one additional year.
