Bachelor of Science
Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) is the most diverse of the engineering disciplines. Our students work across many fields in three major areas are:
Computer Engineering
Software Engineering, Digital Hardware Design, Embedded Systems, VLSI.
Systems Engineering
Communications, Control, Signal Processing
Electrical Sciences
Electronic and Photonic Devices, Nanotechnology, and Energy Conversion.
Students are first exposed to the entire breadth of ECE. As they progress through our programs, they dive deeper into selected areas. We offer two BS degrees options, one in Electrical and Computer Engineering and the other in Computer Engineering and Computer Science. Our students also benefit from our amazing PDP program, which allows students to graduate with both a BS and MS degree in only five years.
Electrical and Computer Engineering
The electrical and computer engineering program objectives are designed to promote technical competence, professional development and citizenship in the global community.Computer Engineering and Computer Science
This degree is administered jointly by the departments of Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering.Progressive Degree Program
Our PDP program allows you to earn credits toward a Master’s Degree while completing your Bachelor’s Degree at USC.Meet Our Faculty and See their Work
Electrical Engineering and Smartphones
Hardware design, chip design, software design, screens, cameras and microprocessors. It's all done in electrical engineering. If you want to build something new that will shape an entire industry, this is the place to do it.
Electrical Engineering and The Brain
Diagnosing Autism, Addiction, and Mental Health. Improving MRI resolution by a factor of 30 to better detect disease. Building brain-machine interfaces to convert human thoughts into movement. These are some of the ways Electrical Engineers are unlocking the brain.
Electrical Engineering and Green Energy
Our life is intertwined with how we use electricity – how we generate and consume energy is one of the biggest problems of our day. These questions need a lot of engineers working from a lot of angles. The great thing about this field is that you can approach it from so many directions and find the aspect that resonates with you.
