The Top 10 reasons to attend NCSU Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Program Profile
Bachelor of Science degrees are offered in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering. Both these programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, assuring that they meet the quality standards set by the profession. Degree programs provide students with a broad background in the discipline, allow flexibility in later career choices, and provide students with the opportunity to specialize by selecting from a wide array of elective courses. All students participate in the ECE Senior Design program where they are challenged to solve practical design problems posed by industrial or academic sponsors. Classes are taught by accomplished faculty who have obtained national and international recognition for contributions to the profession.
About Electrical and Computer
Engineers
ECE graduates are changing the world around us.
Electrical and computer engineers design almost everything
that is electrical or computer-run. In a
car most of the functions of the automobile are
developed and designed by an electrical
or computer engineer. Proximity sensors, on-board
navigation, hands free phones, programmable alarms, lighting
controls, sensors, remote locking, and seat
and mirror adjusting mechanisms are all made possible by
the work of ECE graduates.
The demand for
our graduates is great, therefore the job market is strong.
North
Carolina has been especially rewarding for electrical
and computer engineers. Companies in Research Triangle
Park and elsewhere in NC offer positions in research development,
manufacturing, sales, and operation related to a vast array
of products and services.
Companies such as IBM, Ericsson, MCI, Cisco Systems, Alcatel,
GTE, Nortel, Mitsubishi, BellSouth, AT&T, Andersen Consulting,
Carolina Power Light, General Electric, and a host of others
hire electrical engineers from NC State. Positions for electrical
and computer engineers exist in virtually every state in
the country, and there are many opportunities overseas as
well.
One local IBM manager recently stated that our program produces
the best-prepared graduates in the Southeast. |
