For example, working closely with your ECE mentor, an Electrical Engineering (EE) major can focus on the fundamentals of signals, image\/pattern analysis and machine intelligence, iterative algorithms and optimization, and dynamic systems. You can complement these core courses with classes in another area of ECE to broaden your knowledge in photonics, microelectronics and\/or embedded computational systems such as Field Programmable Gate Arrays. Another example program could consist of core courses in electrophysics, focusing on semiconductor physics, lasers, solar cells, and integrated photonics, with complementary electives in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and signal processing. We offer a bachelor\u2019s degree (BS) in Electrical Engineering.<\/p>\n<p>Computer Engineering (CE) majors can pursue a bachelor\u2019s degree (BS) in a program jointly sponsored by the ECE and Computer Science departments. CE majors take core courses and electives from both departments, and may choose an ECE mentor with a dual appointment. The ECE Department is also the academic home in the school of engineering for the Energy Minor.\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Research&#8221; module_id=&#8221;research&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding__hover_enabled=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.0&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||1em||false|false&#8221; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Research<\/h2>\n<h3>Research is an essential tool<\/h3>\n<p>Hands-on research is one of the best tools for learning.
