Program Overview
Do you have a love of technology and solving challenging problems? Learn how to apply your strengths in science and math, as well as your natural inquisitive and analytical skills in JWU’s Electronics Engineering bachelor’s degree program.
Our focus on blending theory with industry experience is unique. You’ll gain the essential tools and knowledge to formulate innovative solutions to workflow and configuration challenges, as well as build a solid foundation in electronics engineering, field-programmable gate array, microcontrollers and digital design. You’ll also develop the project management and communications skills necessary to work successfully as part of a team.
Harnessing the rapid changes in computer and information technology requires a broad-based foundation in embedded systems engineering. Our immersive, lab-based approach integrates mathematical and engineering applications with contemporary developments in the field through the use of tools such as MATLAB and Simulink.
Under the guidance of faculty who combine theory with industry experience, you’ll learn to
- apply an understanding of engineering processes to identify and analyze problems, design simulations and experiments, and interpret data
- employ industry-standard techniques, skills and tools to resolve engineering problems
- develop project management and communications skills to work proactively in interdisciplinary teams
Starting in your junior year, you’ll have the opportunity to gain industry experience through our many experiential education and internship options. Upon graduation, you’ll be well positioned to find employment in a range of fields that include aerospace and broadcast engineering, IT consulting, systems analysis, network engineering, and even the auto and defense industries.
