根据《美国新闻与世界报道》，电气和计算机工程系名列大学大学前100名。学生毕业时将获得近100％的工作职位，并且是所有学位课程中起薪最高的之一。电气工程师从事电子，电力，电磁学和电子设备的工作。电气工程涵盖了广泛的应用领域，包括发电和运输，运输（汽车和飞机），通信（无线电，电视，无线，电话），机器人，计算机（内存系统，显示器，微处理器），国防应用（导航） ，雷达和安全通信）以及消费类电子产品（DVD和MP3播放器）。电气工程和计算机工程相似，因为它们都基于相同的技术基础。它们的不同之处在于，电气工程学的范
Electrical engineers work with electronics, electricity, and electromagnetism, and electronic devices. Electrical engineering covers a broad range of application areas, including power generation and delivery, transportation (cars and airplanes), communication (radio, TV, wireless, telephones), robotics, computers (memory systems, displays, microprocessors), defense applications (navigation, radar, and secure communication), and consumer electronics (DVD and MP3 players). Electrical engineering and computer engineering are similar, as both build on the same technical foundation. They differ in that electrical engineering is a broader degree, with additional background provided in areas such as electronics, controls, electromagnetics, and signal processing. Computer engineering has a deeper focus on computers and software, including computer architecture, networking, operating systems, and algorithms.The electrical engineering degree is accredited by the EAC Accreditation Commission of ABET.
