Electrical and Computer Engineering

What We Offer

A major component of our department involves "hands-on" learning, and we have integrated the laboratory experience into many of your classes. We want you to be assured that you will not only know the material critical to electrical and computer engineering, but also that you will be able to demonstrate mastery of the material when you graduate.

  • In ECE 4112 Digital Electronics we are using the latest Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) for digital design.
  • In ECE 3551 Microcomputer Systems 1, ECE 3552 Microcomputer Systems 2, and ECE 3553 Multifarious Systems, we are using the latest Texas Instruments DSP boards.
  • In ECE 4342 Virtual Instrumentation, we are using LabView to create virtual instruments.
  • Our students have developed innovative senior design projects, such as autonomous vehicles, speech-activated computers, smart rooms, and robots entered into IEEE competitions.

Our university's location on Florida's Space Coast gives it a unique place in the academic world. Corporations whose scientists and engineers are making tomorrow's technological breakthroughs for the U.S. space program surround the area, and their proximity allows easy interaction between their efforts and the university community.
