What is electrical and computer engineering?
Electrical and computer engineering integrates many disciplines from electrical engineering and computer science under a common umbrella.
Wherever the electrons or computers are, that is where electrical and computer engineers are.
The field permeates all aspects of society and the work done by electrical and computer engineers has a deep and broad impact on our lives. In the video below, Timothy Brown talks about the electrical and computer engineering master’s degree.
