Electrical Engineering

Almost everything that's been developed in the last 50 years uses electronics to communicate or to think. Electrical engineering tries to encompass all of these fields — communications systems, robotics, light, power, circuits — anything with an "on" button. Here, you'll learn how to be creative and think on your own, how to analyze how something works, and how to build new technologies.

Computer Engineering

Computer engineers design digital circuits and the software that interacts with them. Here, you'll be designing the next generation of computers, but not just the computers on your desk. There are computers in everything these days, from your cell phone to your television, your car to satellites and spacecraft. You could be working on a drone altitude control system one day and a life-saving medical device the next.

Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is the application of defense principles to protect our data, our information systems, and all of our information from hackers, malicious users and foreign governments. A Cybersecurity degree prepares you for in-demand jobs like chief information security officer, security architect, penetration tester, digital forensics investigator, and more.
