For these students, the department offers a computer systems specialization of the B.S.E.E. degree. The specialization includes the full B.S.E.E. curriculum and specific courses in computer science and electrical engineering. The B.S.CP.E. curriculum concentrates on the design and application of computer hardware and software systems. During the first three years, the curriculum provides students with a strong foundation in mathematics, physics, chemistry and computer science, followed by the fundamentals of electrical engineering and computer science that form the basis of computer engineering. During the senior year, advanced courses provide students with depth in selected areas and exposure to the practice of engineering design.
Elective courses provide the flexibility to take specialized courses in a number of different areas.
The ECE department considers the advising of students as an important obligation. Students must closely adhere to course prerequisites to maximize academic performance and satisfy requirements for ABET accreditation. Faculty advisers for all EE and CPE degree students are listed on the departments bulletin board. Faculty Interim Chair Donald R. Ucci 127 Siegel Hall Ext.
