The computer engineering undergraduate program was begun in 1988 and has been accredited since its first application for accreditation in 1996. Graduates of our programs consistently score higher than the national average on the Fundamentals of Engineering examination administered by the National Society of Professional Engineers. The department offices and laboratories are located in the Buchanan Engineering Laboratory and the Gauss-Johnson Laboratory on the Moscow campus. Courses are also offered through branch campuses located in Boise, Idaho Falls, and Coeur d'Alene, and through the Engineering Outreach program. Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Program.
Electrical engineering involves the application of electrical phenomena for the benefit of society.
Electrical engineers design and use circuits and systems for computers, instruments, communications devices, and power conversion equipment. Students in the electrical engineering program are assigned a faculty adviser upon entry into the program. The adviser helps the student prepare appropriate class schedules each semester and provides guidance on other academic and professional issues. Students take a first course in electrical engineering in their freshman year that introduces them to the field and helps prepare them for further study. Other courses in the freshman year help develop a solid foundation in physics, chemistry, and mathematics.
