The Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering at National University is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s) and Similarly Named Engineering Programs Program Criteria. ABET is a respected worldwide accreditor of college and university applied and natural science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology programs. Accreditation assures prospective students, employers, graduate schools, and certification and registration boards that the program meets rigorous quality standards and produces graduates who are prepared to be successful in critical technical fields. NU's program, faculty, and administration completed an intensive 18-month, five-step review process before being awarded this highly regarded designation.
The Electrical and Computer Engineering program involves the study of hardware, software, communications, and the interactions between them. NU's curriculum focuses on the theories, principles, and practices of traditional electrical engineering and mathematics and applies them to the design of computers and computer-based devices. Courses are structured to establish analytical thinking and design skills in areas such as computer architecture, digital logic design, circuits analysis, computer communication networks, digital computer control, integrated circuit engineering, project management, VLSI design, digital signal processing and embedded systems.
To receive a Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering, students must complete at least 180 quarter units to earn a minimum of 70.5 units of the University General Education requirements, 76.5 quarter units must be completed at the upper division level, and 45, including the senior project courses (CEE 498, CEE 499A, and CEE 499B), must be taken in residence at National University.
