BA/BS in Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering

Electrical and computer engineering at Lafayette prepares students to design and build the technologies behind devices such as phones, processors, medical equipment, robots and energy systems. The curriculum grounds students in fundamentals and then reinforces them through practical work and close contact with faculty. Topics span computing hardware, microelectronics, photonics, materials, control, communications, signal processing, AI, power, robotics and networks. Project work begins in the first-year engineering course and ends with a senior capstone design. The department maintains its own facilities for teaching and research, and graduates pursue careers in industry or continue to graduate study. A minor in the subject is also offered. Hands-on experience and faculty mentoring run throughout, so students steadily apply theory to realistic design problems before graduating.
