Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Return to: College of Engineering

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. Students may elect to follow the Computer Engineering concentration. Electrical Engineering emphasizes the traditional areas of electronics, power, communications, and control, while the Computer Engineering Concentration emphasizes the areas of digital integrated circuits, computer systems, and embedded microsystems. Electives are available which allow both Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering students to obtain breadth and depth in other areas.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has the goal of producing well-educated electrical and computer engineers who will be successfully employed in industry at the regional and national levels or who will continue with graduate studies. The curriculum is designed for maximum breadth of coverage of electrical and computer engineering topics while allowing considerable depth in certain areas chosen by each student. The majority of the department’s graduates are employed in the electronics, communications, computer, power, oil and petrochemical, and consulting industries. Other areas of electrical and computer engineering are available in the curriculum via electives.

Students may select a concentration in either Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering. The traditional areas of electronics, power, communications, and controls are emphasized in the Electrical Engineering Concentration, while the Computer Engineering Concentration emphasizes the areas of digital electronics, computer architecture, operating systems, and software development. Electives are available which allow students in either concentration to obtain breadth and depth in other areas.

Educational Objectives of the Electrical Engineering Program

The objectives were developed by the faculty in consultation with the Electrical Engineering Industry Advisory Board and were approved by electrical engineering students.

The objective of the Electrical Engineering program of the University of New Orleans is to produce graduates who are successful practitioners of electrical and computer engineering and appreciate the value of furthering their education.

Driven by the University’s urban mission and the needs of (and our ties with) industry of the Gulf Coast region, the Electrical Engineering program meets the demands of the following industries:

• Energy and petrochemical
• Data and telecommunication
• Computer Engineering
• Information and systems technologies
• Consulting
• Industrial power and controls
• Electronics design and manufacturing
• Shipbuilding

The Electrical Engineering program also meets the demands of national industries and serves as a foundation for graduate education.

A minimum grade of C or better is required in MATH 2124 , ENEE 2550 , ENEE 2551 , and ENEE 3530 .
