The Electrical Engineering Honors Program Electrical and Computer Engineering Honors Program Join a Community of Learners Membership in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Honors Program at the University of Maryland offers you an outstanding education, plus the opportunity to challenge yourself intellectually and to pursue a path of excellence - similar to what is offered by the nation's most elite institutions. Only students with the highest academic credentials are invited to participate. Classes are limited to a small number of students which facilitates discussion and close interaction with faculty. Research opportunities and design projects are an integral part of the program, providing students with hands-on experience during their undergraduate education.
Students meet frequently and informally with faculty advisors.
During the first two years in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Honors Program, students participate in accelerated course work in math, taught in smaller seminar-type classes. ECE Honors courses in the junior year are a vehicle for faculty and students to delve deeper into the electrical engineering curriculum. Open discussions and projects in these classes reinforce the foundations of electrical engineering and motivate an appreciation for emerging technologies. As seniors, ECE Honors students have the opportunity to engage in research under the guidance of faculty advisors. Successful completion of the ECE Honors Program is noted on the BSEE or BSCP diploma.
