The B.S. in Engineering with an Electrical and Computer Concentration lets you explore how physical devices and computing work together. You build a broad engineering foundation, then study how circuits carry signals, how digital systems process information and how devices can respond to the world around them. Your course choices can take you toward electronics, robotics or connected devices, with room to bring in interests from elsewhere at Elon.
You’ll study mechanics, materials, computing and design, then choose from courses in circuits, microelectronics, digital systems, signals and controls. A senior design project gives you an opportunity to connect what you’ve learned and test how well a system works.
The B.S. in Engineering with an Electrical and Computer Concentration is a 97 credit hour program. It combines mathematics and science with engineering foundations, design and 24 hours of selected courses in electrical engineering and computing. One computer science course may count toward those 24 hours.
Choose at least one additional course — 4 semester hours
Choose one economics and one ethics course. These courses may count toward the Elon Core Curriculum requirements. Possible options include the following courses. For other courses in this category seek approval of the Chair of the Engineering Department.
Choose from the following courses. Only one Computer Science course may be counted.
The recommended sequence shows how a full four-year course of study fits together.
You'll work with your advisor to find the right path for you.
Make the parts work together.
This concentration fits if you’re curious about both what a device does and what makes it respond. You might want to design electronic hardware, program a connected device or build a robot that senses and acts. The engineering core gives you tools to design and test a system; your selected courses let you focus on the parts that interest you most. Study elsewhere at Elon can help you consider the people who use that system and the problems it could help solve.
There are many combinations of courses that you can add to your degree path, and a wide range of professional opportunities. A few options are here, but talk with your advisor about a combination that fits the direction you're considering.
