Program Description:
The Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology (BSECET) offers students an in-depth foundation in electrical engineering and computer engineering from the ground up by an interdisciplinary team of Wright State University faculty. The program’s coursework focuses on foundational electrical and computer engineering topics to prepare students for real-world problem solving and design of electronic, computer, and software systems through a comprehensive curriculum of modern electrical and computer engineering design skills. This program uniquely blends coursework from multiple fields of math, science, engineering and computer science using pedagogical best practices focused on engaging students in their learning, such that they are actively involved in understanding engineering concepts and ideas, and fostering scientific creativity and critical thinking.
This program prepares students for careers in a variety of fields, including for example: automated manufacturing, electronics instrumentation, testing, and quality control; electronic/electrical product development and design; software development and design; computer network and system development, design, sustainment; field service engineering; and systems engineering.
Program Objectives
- Objective 1: Will be professionally employed in a technical or supervisory position or pursuing advanced training.
- Objective 2: Will be actively involved in professional development activities.
- Objective 3: Will be leading or participating as a member of project teams.
