Students may follow the baccalaureate program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in either electrical engineering or computer and systems engineering. The objective of both programs is to prepare graduates for professional practice and/or advanced study, together with continuing personal and professional growth.

In particular, the ECSE department seeks to graduate visionary and versatile professionals who will have a solid foundation in mathematics, science, and engineering, and be able to apply these to practical use. They will be able to identify, model, analyze, and solve challenging real world problems; have specialized technical knowledge in their chosen field; have strong communication skills with emphasis on technical writing and interpersonal communication; be able to design innovative products, processes, or systems; perform effectively on diverse, multidisciplinary teams, both as leader and as contributor; be informed citizens broadly educated in the humanities and social sciences; be prepared to practice engineering in a socially responsible and ethical manner; and have learned in a creative, stimulating environment that prepares and motivates them to continue to grow and learn.
