In the Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering Program, you’ll learn about digital circuit design, electric and electronic circuits, computer systems, digital signal processing and communications, power and energy systems, and control systems. You’ll be prepared to enter and progress in electrical and computer engineering positions in business, industry and government. Graduates are generally expected to work in the research and development of ideas, products and processes by applying engineering principles to the solution of practical problems in the electrical and computer engineering field.
This degree combines studies in selected areas of engineering, physics, mathematics, and science to prepare students to solve real-world problems in electrical and computer engineering.

The first two years of the curriculum allow students to establish a solid foundation in mathematics and sciences. The third-year curriculum introduces students to a broad spectrum of electrical and computer engineering coursework, followed by specialization courses and a capstone design experience in the fourth year. The senior year capstone course allows students to consolidate their education experience with the solution of real-world, practical engineering problems often provided by industry.
The primary objective of the electrical and computer engineering program is to prepare students to enter and progress in electrical and computer engineering positions in business, industry and government. Graduates are generally expected to work in the research and development of ideas, products and processes by applying engineering principles to the solution of practical problems in the electrical and computer engineering field.
Note: incoming freshmen are expected to start both the Calculus and Physics series in their first year in order to finish the degree in four years.
In order to ensure all EWU Electrical and Computer Engineering graduates meet EWU ABET accreditation requirements, all Electrical and Computer Engineering students are required to take EENG 320 , EENG 330 , EENG 360 , EENG 401 and EENG 490A / EENG 490B from EWU. Exceptions to this policy will be reviewed on a case by case basis by the Electrical and Computer Engineering curriculum review (ECECR) committee to ensure the student has successfully met the EWU ABET performance indicators required for each course.
