collageThe curriculum in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) provides a wide range of opportunities in undergraduate study in the electrical engineering areas of communications, signal processing and controls, electronics and integrated circuits, power electronics and energy systems, materials and devices, electromagnetism, microwaves and optics, and the computer engineering areas of computer architecture, digital hardware design, and computer networks.
The Bachelor of Science and Honors Bachelor of Science degree programs in ECE are accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.ABET.org. The ECE undergraduate program has the following Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) (see the ABET Accreditation for ECE website).
- Graduates of the program will have successful careers.
- Graduates of the program will continue to learn and adapt to a changing world.
- Graduates of the program will practice ethical and inclusive principles that foster collaborative environments.
The ECE undergraduate degree program includes a common set of core courses that provides a solid foundation as well as 29-credits of restricted electives. The restricted electives allow students to prepare for industry, graduate study, or other career paths, specializing or broadening further their knowledge and skills. Elective course work is available focusing on sustainability and renewable energy, computers and networks, energy systems, integrated circuits, systems signals and communications, materials and devices, RF/microwaves and optoelectronics, and robotics. The sustainability and renewable energy focus addresses global technological challenges balancing societal needs with environmental and economic tradeoffs. Further details on restricted electives can be found on the EECS website.
The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Oregon State University provides a comprehensive education to all of our students that enables them to become successful and ethical professionals by delivering high quality programs that foster lifelong learning and a sense of community, and that meet the needs of our stakeholders.
Electrical and Computer Engineering (MEng, M.S., Ph.D., minor)
The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Oregon State University provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art education that prepares our students to be successful in engineering practice, advanced studies and research.
The master’s degree provides advanced instruction beyond the undergraduate degree. It prepares students for careers in which a higher level of experience is required. The Master of Engineering is a course work-only degree with no required thesis or project report.
The PhD degree prepares students for work in government or industry research laboratories or careers at universities. Students are encouraged to develop programs of study in close cooperation with the faculty members in their areas of interest.
Graduate work is supported by the school’s well-equipped laboratory facilities. Opportunities exist for graduate students to participate in many research projects sponsored by private industry and government agencies.
