Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering


Undergraduate

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers hands-on, laboratory-oriented Bachelor of Science degree programs in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering. These curricula are theoretical, yet applied and career preparatory. Students gain expertise and practical knowledge in all areas of Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering. The Electrical and Computer Engineering department has distinct focus areas including: communication systems, fiber optics, electromagnetics, antennas, control systems, network security, sensors, power systems, smart grids, microelectronics, digital systems, embedded systems, robotics and computer systems.

The Electrical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET, http://www.abet.org. The Computer Engineering program just completed its accreditation visit by EAC of ABET and is anticipating the final ruling in the summer of 2022. Upon successful award of accreditation, it will be retroactive to the first cohort of graduates.

Graduate

The Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) degree program offered on the Statesboro campus of Georgia Southern and the VECTR Center in Warner Robins, GA integrates state-of-the-art technology and interdisciplinary and conceptual science with hands-on, operational skills preparation. The MSEE program is designed to meet the global need for engineers who possess leadership skills but also applications experience in consumer, commercial and industrial fields. MSEE graduates are innovators prepared to become responsible, strategic leaders and exceptional engineering professionals. Graduates gain valuable knowledge and are uniquely positioned to make immediate impacts in their careers. The program serves both full-time students preparing for careers in Electrical Engineering as well as currently employed professionals seeking an advanced education to augment their existing skills and background.  

Courses include analytical math and experimental research in areas such as autonomous systems, optical communications, wireless power, small antennas, and energy harvesting. Thesis and or non-thesis tracks are available within the program. Research conducted through the thesis or independent study project provides opportunity for individualized in-depth study with a faculty mentor.
