Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)
BREAK BOUNDARIES YOU NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE
If you are ready to feed your technical savvy mind and drive for problem solving, we know you will be a perfect fit in our ECE program. This is where you will be tested and challenged to bridge electrical engineering and computer science to bring hardware and software together.
Upon graduation, you will become a highly sought after computer software engineer that methodically analyzes the needs of users and companies then designs, constructs, tests, and maintains the necessary software or systems through your extensive knowledge of electronics, programming, and coding.
SAY GOODBYE TO LIMITATIONS
Embrace our “I will try” mindset. It is especially important in our ECE program. Here, we ask you to try and if there are obstacles or setbacks—we inspire you to try again. Your mentality to keep going ignites a learning process that will take you beyond what you thought possible. As a Norwich ECE student, faculty and peers encourage you to keep trying and to break boundaries and defy limits.
YOUR LIFE AS AN ECE STUDENT AT NORWICH
During your first two years in Norwich’s Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) program, you will master the basic tools and problem-solving techniques that will serve you throughout your studies and career. Your foundation in mathematics, basic physical sciences, and the fundamental principles of engineering set you up for diving deep into the intricacies of the program.
In your final two years, we foster your growth through a hands-on learning approach. This means that you will practice what you have learned firsthand in a laboratory intensive environment. Expect to solve discipline-specific engineering problems in your third year. Then in your senior year, add the finishing touch to your degree with an open-ended, creative design experience. You will gain stand-out experience solving real-world problems by performing lab work with modern equipment, working with dedicated faculty, and in valuable internships in your chosen field.
Keep tabs on new courses. You never know when we will add a new favorite to the program. Faculty are constantly updating the curriculum to remain innovative in the ever-expanding industry. One of our newest courses—developed and taught by Norwich’s Artificial Intelligence Director—is Engineering Artificial Intelligence.
