Top Pick for Students With an R&D Mindset

Earn a bachelor’s degree, with online options, in a well-integrated electrical and computer engineering program at one of the best-bang-for-the-buck universities in the nation. Learn to think analytically, answer the big questions and work on anything from wearable medical devices, smart phone apps and computer chips to massive smart grids, cybersecurity and driverless cars.

Academics

As the world’s technology advances at a rapid pace, the lines between electrical engineering and computer engineering have blurred. Thus, ECE undergraduates earn a Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Students gain a solid foundation in analytical thinking, problem solving and technology. The program fosters skills in ethical leadership, communication and teamwork. Core classes are interactive and incorporate discussion, one-on-one help, hands-on activities and real-life team projects.

Outside the Classroom

An invaluable part of the ECE student experience takes place in student clubs – such as IEEE and HACKS – on interdisciplinary research and design teams, and through participation in internships. The success of ECE students in these activities is a big part of what makes them work ready and highly employable.

Job-Ready Graduates

Nearly every industry in every sector has a place for electrical and computer engineers, and constant advancements in technology keep them in demand. UA ECE graduates are working at companies such as Raytheon, Intel, IBM, Qualcomm, Motorola, Microsoft, Honeywell, Texas Instruments, GM, Agilent, NASA, Boeing and Pixar.
