What is unique about studying computer or electrical engineering in the Watson School?
Our curriculum builds upon the base of the one-year core provided by the Engineering Design Division of the Watson School. The one-year core, required of all engineering students in the school, provides students with a broad foundation in engineering fundamentals, natural sciences, mathematics, communication skills and laboratory experience. The second year of the program covers basic electrical and computer engineering topics. Depth in computer or electrical engineering is obtained by a series of required courses and technical electives in the final two years of the program. In addition to the four-year bachelor’s degree in EE or CE, two combined-degree programs are available for undergraduate students. Qualified students can earn a BS in computer or electrical engineering and a master’s degree in five years: either a BS in computer or electrical engineering and a MBA or a BS and MS. At the graduate level, students can earn a master’s or PhD degree in computer or electrical engineerin
