Why choose electrical and computer engineering technology?
Electrical and computer engineering technologists bridge the gap between design and implementation, research and development, and transition and operation. They are involved in the design, development, and sustainment of technology solutions that touch every aspect of modern life, from manufacturing to medical devices, from avionics to automotive, from wireless devices to financial services.
"Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs," U.S. News & World Report, 2022
U.S. News & World Report has ranked Wright State's undergraduate engineering programs as No. 150 among hundreds of engineering programs across the nation. The program faculty are dedicated to student success and offer one-on-one support to all students. The university is also located in Dayton, Ohio, a hub of technical expertise in industrial engineering, human factors engineering, aerospace, unmanned aerial systems, engineering innovation, and more for internships and future career advancement.
Careers
The degree in electrical and computer engineering technology provides students with a comprehensive skill set in programming as well as electrical and computer engineering design and implementation with more modest requirements for the study of mathematics and the basic sciences than traditional electrical and computer engineering programs.
