Overview
The engineering field continues to grow, with electrical and computer engineering in particular projected to add about 25,000 jobs per year to the market. Our bachelor’s program in electrical and computer engineering will prepare today’s students to take advantage of that growth.
Through a combination of engineering, science, and mathematics courses, you’ll gain a strong theoretical foundation while learning to take that knowledge and creatively apply it. You’ll design and conduct experiments; interpret and analyze data; design systems to meet needs within economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability constraints; and identify and solve engineering problems. And it’s all paired with the ability to apply Christian principles to ethical and moral issues related to engineering.
At Trevecca, you’ll have 24/7 access to labs and caring professors who feel called to pour their lives into tomorrow’s leaders. Our professors bring real-world experience to the classroom, and our student-to-faculty ratio means you’ll work closely with professors who know first-hand what it takes to succeed in your chosen field.
