Electrical engineering covers the analysis and design of electrical systems, involving circuits, electronics, antennas, power systems, communications and computers. Computer engineering first learns the basic knowledge of electrical engineering, and then specializes in computer software and hardware, designing and connecting practical computer systems.
1. confer degrees
Ohio State University offers the following degrees in electrical and computer engineering:
Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Bachelor of Science/Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Doctor of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Bachelor of Science in Electronic and Computer Engineering
Students who complete this major can obtain a bachelor of science degree in electrical and computer engineering. There are two main options: electrical engineering and computer engineering. The former conforms to the curriculum standard of ABET electrical and electronic engineering, while the latter conforms to the curriculum standard of ABET computer engineering.
Master of Science in Electronic and Computer Engineering
This degree offers two choices: research direction (thesis) and project direction (non-thesis). You must complete at least 30 credits to get a degree. You must register for at least three graduate credits in the semester of graduation. The master of science study plan agreed by the consultant must be submitted to the coordinator of electrical and computer engineering before the end of the first semester.
Project direction
The project direction requires at least 30 credits, and the average GPA is not less than 3.0. Master's non-thesis examination requires satisfactory results. The examination is evaluated by the Master of Science Committee, which is composed of consultants and at least one other teacher.
Doctor of Electronic and Computer Engineering
This major offers two admission methods, both Bachelor of Science and Master of Science can apply for admission.
Doctoral research program
The research plan includes an important field of electrical and computer engineering, a minor field and other postgraduate courses approved by consultants. If you have obtained a Master of Science degree from another school, you must provide your report card and research schedule at the same time.
Before submission, it must be signed by two teachers: the consultant and another teacher in an important field.
The signing teacher in the minor field is also the examiner in the minor field of the student candidate review Committee, and must come from outside the professional field.
2. Research opportunities
Undergraduate students in this major can have many challenging research opportunities. Under the guidance of the teacher, students study a problem. It can be studied in the laboratory. The content can involve computer programming, data analysis and file retrieval.
The research in undergraduate stage is helpful to lay a foundation for postgraduate study and employment. This is beyond the reach of regular courses.
3. Employment prospects
Despite the expansion of technology scale, the demand for electrical and computer engineering professionals continues to increase. Graduates face beautiful and challenging prospects. Graduates can engage in research, design, development, manufacturing, marketing and management. Enterprises have a great demand for graduates of this major, and their positions are all over the world. This includes computer, aerospace, automobile, telephone and electrical facilities, electronic manufacturing and other industries. Many government agencies also accept graduates of this major.
In addition, degrees in electrical and computer engineering can provide a good background for pre-medical, business, law and other industries. Some alumni have become entrepreneurs and applied their training to new service fields.
With the continuous improvement of China's economic development level, computer technology has made rapid development and progress, and its appl
