Engineers apply the theories and principles of science and mathematics to solve real-world problems. The engineering major provides a solid foundation in math, science, and engineering concepts, and prepares students looking to transfer to obtain their Bachelor’s degree in electrical or computer engineering, or looking to enter the field as an engineering technician. Engineers in the electrical or computer fields work in a wide variety of industries including renewable energy production, computer hardware, environmental controls, signal processing, product design, and machine learning. If planning to transfer to a 4-year university, please see a counselor for more information.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this program a student will be able to:

🗸 Use engineering analysis to formulate logical problem-solving approaches, generate solutions, and assess the reasonableness of the solutions

🗸 Design, construct, and produce creative solutions specific to the electrical and computer engineering field

🗸 Apply scientific principles and mathematical analysis to solve science, math, and engineering problems

Career Opportunities

Engineering continues to be an excellent career choice. It is the second largest profession, being exceeded only by teaching. Careers in computer and electrical engineering include: computer engineers, electrical engineers, product developers, roboticists, researchers, engineering teachers, and project managers.
