Bachelor of Science - Computer & Electrical Engineering (Co-op)

Program Description

• Computer Engineering Concentration 
• Electrical Engineering Concentration 

The Computer and Electrical Engineering program at UW-Stout is ideally suited to help students develop skills that align with the needs of regional and national industries. This program will help them develop computer engineering skills with a strong background in both electrical engineering and computer science. UW-Stout's curriculum is calculus-based with a solid foundation in mathematics and science, through to practical skills in analysis and design including:

• Electrical engineering
• Robotics
• Electronics
• Sensors and actuators
• Wireless communication
• Systems engineering
• Mathematics
• Analysis and design of computer systems
• Design of hardware and software systems that use embedded digital processors

Graduates of the program receive automatic minors in Mathematics and Computer Science. A minor in Biomedical Instrumentation is also available.

The program includes a strong emphasis on laboratory activities and student engineering design projects. Particular focus is placed on the design of hardware and software for engineering systems that utilize embedded digital processors such as microprocessors, microcontrollers, digital signal processors and personal computers.

Resources available to students include an outstanding cooperative education program and the Stout Technology Transfer Institute. A part of UW-Stout’s Discovery Center, the STTI is a nationally-recognized center that assists regional businesses in applying innovative technologies to become more competitive. As students progress towards their degree, both of these resources provide valuable opportunities for students to learn through practical, on-the-job experiences while still enrolled at UW-Stout.
