Electrical engineering and computer engineering have much in common. Computer engineering grew out of electrical engineering and is, in fact, a sub-discipline of it. The two disciplines share many fundamentals, including computer programming, electronic circuits, digital design, and robotics. Apart from each other, students stand proudly on their own. Electrical engineers are experts in the transmission, conversion, and generation of electric energy and in communication and signal processing. Computer engineers are known as the hardware warriors, they design and build computers and components and bring computer science into the mix by developing and integrating the software that that makes them work. Bring the two disciplines together and students unite the power behind the “brains,” opening up myriad ways in which to make the world a safer, healthier, cleaner, more efficient place in which to live. A whole new set of career opportunities opens up as well. It’s one degree with unlimited possibilities. Students will enter a rapidly changing work force that requires knowledge of analog circuits, digital systems, embedded systems, signal processing, and computer programming, and they will be qualified in multiple areas. Students possible job titles: Electrical Designer Systems Engineer Software Engineer Embedded Systems Engineer Cybersecurity Engineer Signal Integrity Engineer Firmware Engineer DevOp Lead Web Application Developer
