Use Your Skills in a Variety of Fields

With cutting-edge curriculum, research and facilities, we combine learning with doing and theory with practice.

  • Computer engineers integrate knowledge of hardware and software to design embedded systems. Rapid advances in technology and computing systems are largely a result of the research, development and design of these engineers.
  • Electrical engineers study and apply electrical/electronic and telecommunications systems. They develop new and advanced products in almost all industries.

You'll enjoy a wide range of challenges: robotics, controls, radar systems, signal processing, electro-optics, image processing, computer vision and VLSI design.

Our graduates work in a broad range of fields, including government, industry, business, law and medicine.




Every Student Is Unique. So Is UD.

Meaningful Real-World Experience

Take your engineering knowledge from the classroom and apply it in the real world. At UD, you'll have multiple opportunities for experiential learning, including co-ops and internships.

Through our ETHOS Center, you'll have a chance to gain perspectives on how engineering and technology are influenced by the world through service-learning experiences.

Preparation for the Next Step

All University of Dayton students and alumni have access to Career Services, which provides a variety of services including career advising, events, workshops and more.

For undergraduate students wanting to pursue graduate degrees, we offer a Bachelor's Plus Master's Program.

An Involved Community

The community at the University of Dayton is one of the many elements that make this campus feel like home.

As a Flyer, you'll be able to get involved through engineering clubs and organizations, like the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and professional fraternities and honor societies, like the electrical and computer fraternity Eta Kappa Nu.

Research for a Better World

At UD, our Catholic, Marianist values guide us to conduct research to create a better world for everyone.

Not only will you have a chance to work in our many labs find solutions to make a real-world impact, you'll be able to participate in and learn from others in our engineering centers and through our initiatives.
