Like problem-solving and building machines? Our undergraduate programs let you do just that. Electrical engineering co-op students Nick Birch and Tyler Rhodes built a tree-planting robot to help fight deforestation.

Electrical engineering or computer engineering?

  • An electrical engineer is involved in the design and study of various electrical and electronic systems, such as electricity generation and transmission, consumer electronics, control systems, signal processing, computer design, sensor design, telecommunications, biomedical imaging, and mechatronics.
  • A computer engineer is similar to an electrical engineer but focuses extensively on computer applications, such as computer hardware design, microprocessors, software and operating systems design, embedded systems and microcontrollers, and mechatronics.
