The minor in electrical and computer engineering will introduce you to the fundamentals of electronics technology and mergingelectronics systems with software. You’ll study electrical circuits and how to control them with software. You’ll study the fundamental concepts of the design, development, testing and modeling of a wide range of electrical systems. By combining skills and technological expertise learned in this minor with majors in the sciences, education, engineering or computer fields, you can leave this program prepared to succeed in graduate studies or a variety of career fields.
In the electrical and computer engineering program, you’ll work in a hands-on laboratory environment that reinforces traditional classroom learning while providing the real-world skills valued by employers. You can participate on competitive teams at national competitions and gain hands-on experience at the UNH Inter Operability Lab, where you’ll work alongside top tech companies to test their networking equipment before it hits the market. The computer and electrical engineering program at UNH has a high placement rate because of its great reputation among industry employers.
