Learn to be a complex problem-solver by building a foundation in both hardware and software engineering. Gain hands-on experience with the latest technology used in controls, signal processing, integrated circuits, communication networks, wireless communication, and computer operating systems.
Why Earn a Bachelor’s in Electrical and Computer Engineering at New York Tech?
Today’s engineering students must understand both hardware and software used in controls, signal processing, integrated circuits, communication networks, wireless communication, and computer operating systems.
New York Tech’s Electrical and Computer Engineering program addresses this need through courses in liberal arts, humanities, science, mathematics, computer science, and electrical engineering with an increasing emphasis on design. The use of modern engineering tools and computers is integrated into nearly all engineering courses.
The program also offers a balance of theoretical fundamentals and hands-on experiences in a small-class setting—most courses have fewer than 20 students.
