Undergraduate Programs

Top Pick for Students With an R&D Mindset

Earn your bachelor’s degree—on campus or online—in  well-integrated programs: Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, or Software Engineering. At one of the nation’s top value universities, 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 technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, the boundaries between electrical and computer engineering are becoming increasingly blurred. In today’s interconnected world, complex systems demand seamless integration between hardware and software. That’s why undergraduates in the ECE department pursue a Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, or Software Engineering.

All U of A Engineering students gain a solid foundation in analytical thinking, problem solving and technology. The programs foster 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. U of A ECE graduates are working at companies such as Raytheon, Intel, IBM, Qualcomm, Motorola, Microsoft, Honeywell, Texas Instruments, GM, Agilent, NASA, Boeing and Pixar.
