driving the U.S. economy with electrical and computer engineers leading it.
Be one of the leaders.
Being an electrical and computer engineer is one of the most exciting careers and UNH is a great place to study engineering. Our faculty attended the best schools in the country, many have national and international reputations in their respective specialties, and at UNH they teach the engineering courses. Since its founding in 1910, the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department has made the job of teaching undergraduate students a major priority. We enjoy a reputation with industry for graduating students who can excel and lead in the workplace and become valuable employees. Our curriculum is balanced between preparing you for immediate employment and further learning in graduate school. The Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering degree programs are fully accredited by the national Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. Our students have attended and excelled at the best graduate schools in the country and have competed for and received some of the most sought-after scholarships. Class sizes in the Department are generally ten to thirty students, small enough for you to get individual help and to get to know your fellow students.
ECE faculty also manage research laboratories and teach graduate courses. In our department, undergraduate students work on team research projects with their professors and graduate students. We regularly receive support from the National Science Foundation, the US Department of Justice, and industry to support research programs, which are staffed by undergraduate and graduate students. UNH's interdisciplinary Interoperability Laboratory, Small Satellite Laboratory, and Research Computing Center employ a large number of ECE undergraduate students, even starting in the freshman year.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is our international professional organization. The student branch of the IEEE at UNH is student-run and provides opportunity for professional activity and for making friends (some for a lifetime).
Since in today’s world almost everything is powered or designed by computers or electronics, an ECE degree will grant you a myriad of career opportunities.
