Engineering Professor Receives Major Grant to Advance Robotics Research
Electrical engineering and computer engineering have much in common. Computer engineering grew out of electrical engineering and is, in fact, a sub-discipline of it. The two disciplines share many fundamentals, including computer programming, electronic circuits, digital design, and robotics.
Apart from each other, they stand proudly on their own. Electrical engineers are experts in the transmission, conversion, and generation of electric energy and in communication and signal processing. Computer engineers are known as the hardware warriors —they design and build computers and components and bring computer science into the mix by developing and integrating the software that that makes them work.
Bring the two disciplines together and you unite the power behind the “brains,” opening up myriad ways in which to make the world a safer, healthier, cleaner, more efficient place in which to live. A whole new set of career opportunities opens up as well. It’s one degree with unlimited possibilities.
Students will be able to enroll in this exciting new program beginning with the Spring 2022 semester.
Because the degree pulls in multiple disciplines — electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, and cybersecurity (for those who choose that concentration) — you will be able to problem solve and pioneer, envision and invent beyond the boundaries that engineers in the past were limited to with their narrower focus.
A rigorous laboratory course sequence gives you the hands-on experience that prepares you for the professional world and ensures that you are ready to make a meaningful contribution from day one on the job.
Our faculty are leaders and innovators in their fields, bringing both deep professional experience and academic rigor to the classroom.

This course looks at how an engineer will employ modern tools to create large-scale computer chips through the use of hardware programming languages. By employing field programmable gate arrays (FPGA), you will learn how to create custom computer chips using the register transfer logic design style and the application of registers, memory, math units, and state machines. You will be creating computer chips that are in the range of 10,000s of transistor in size.
This course provides an introduction to embedded systems, with a design focus on microcontroller programming. Topics include instruction processing, memory organization, addressing modes, and more, with integrated laboratory activity.
In this course, you will learn about the changing landscape of electric energy sources, including renewable energy and distributed generation. Topics include AC transmission lines, power quality and power factor, synchronous generators, automatic generation control, and ways to prevent voltage collapse.
In this course, students will study sampling and reconstruction of continuous-time signals from samples and will engage in spectral analysis of signals using the discrete Fourier transform.
This is a continuation of the first-semester, senior-year capstone design course to meet end goals. The student will present work in a formal report and at the college capstone design expo.
