Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering

The primary goals of the Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering program at NYIT are to produce well-rounded graduates with a broad range of skills, aptitudes and interests who are prepared for successful careers in industry, government, or the pursuit of graduate studies.

These goals are satisfied by required and elective courses in liberal arts, humanities, science, mathematics, computer science, and electrical engineering with an increasing emphasis on design. Established sequences provide both depth and breadth in the major areas of study and offer a degree of flexibility through the choice of elective courses.

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. NYIT's Electrical and Computer Engineering program addresses this need through a sequence of course requirements. The use of modern engineering tools and computers is integrated into nearly all engineering courses.

Two Capstone courses provide students with a design experience under the guidance of a faculty advisor. This experience draws significantly on knowledge and skills acquired in previous coursework in digital control, embedded systems, and other areas. While projects may be self-contained, they incorporate engineering standards and practices and provide a major design experience as required by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the ABET, Inc. Students work in teams to design a system or component of a system. Teams work independently, with the instructor serving as a mentor. Designs incorporate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints such as their impact on society, health and environmental considerations, literature and patent search, and project management. Weekly progress reports and a final oral and written presentation are required.
