Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Undergraduate Studies: Where Hands-On Experience Prepares You for Real-World Success

Build a lucrative career in such areas as robotics, wireless communications, networks and security, image processing and multimedia, application development, and software and hardware engineering.

With industry-leading faculty and state-of-the-art research facilities, our department will prepare you to tackle major global and social issues in a variety of evolving fields through a curriculum that balances fundamental principles, design methodologies and practical, hands-on experiences.

With plenty of interdisciplinary, collaborative resources and opportunities to choose from — including the Stevens Institute for Artificial Intelligence — we'll also give you the chance to work and think beyond just your own major. Our small class sizes will give you a more personal experience, and our proximity to Manhattan means a wide variety of nearby research, co-op, networking and career opportunities.
