Engineering – Computer and Electrical

Engineers apply the theories and principles of science and mathematics to solve real world problems. The engineering major provides a solid foundation in math, science, and engineering concepts, and prepares students looking to transfer to obtain their Bachelor’s degree in electrical or computer engineering, or looking to enter the field as an engineering technician. Engineers in the electrical or computer fields work in a wide variety of industries including renewable energy production, computer hardware, environmental controls, signal processing, product design, and machine learning. If planning to transfer to a 4-year university, please see a counselor for more information.

Career Opportunities

Engineering continues to be an excellent choice for a career. It is the second largest profession, being exceeded only by teaching. Careers in computer and electrical engineering include: computer engineers, electrical engineers, product developers, roboticists, researchers, engineering teachers, and project managers.
