Electronic and Computer Engineering Technology
Propel Technology to the Next Level
Electronic and computer engineering technology majors take classes that build their skills in circuit design, electronics, measurements, digital computers and data acquisition and control.
Our engineering technology programs combine the practical application of science and engineering with a stronger emphasis on execution and implementation.
At UD, you can choose to focus on different areas of engineering. The most common minors or concentrations for electronic and computer engineering technology students are:
- Industrial Automation and Applied Robotic Systems - Learn how to program and control robotic systems by using PLC and CNC controllers.
Classes
Electronic and computer engineering technology students take a well-rounded group of courses to build their engineering skills and technical knowledge.
Examples of courses:
- Electronic Devices – discover single voltage source DC and AC circuits: current, voltage, resistance, power, series and parallel circuits and magnetic circuits.
- Digital Data Communications – study of networks, satellite communication, phone systems, fiber optics, modems and other data transmission.
- Project Management – understand and apply the principles of project management to processes students may encounter at their jobs.
Exploring Inside and Outside the Classroom
Many of our faculty have years of experience in the industry, and they bring their real-world applications to the classroom. They have worked in automotive, manufacturing, product development and more.
Co-ops and internships are a great way for students to take their engineering experience to the next level and find their passion. Our voluntary work placements are paid positions and provide invaluable engineering work experience integrated into the student's academic plan.
Your academic journey culminates in a senior year capstone design course, where your student team will solve a real-world challenge for a client. You’ll be paired with students from other engineering majors to work together to find the solution – many of which clients have adopted and use today.
Minors
Compliment your major or connection with your passion by adding a minor or concentration to your degree program. The School of Engineering offers more than 30 minors, or you can choose one outside of engineering. 39% of mechanical engineering students have a minor.

Engineering for the Common Good
The Ethos Center connects students to community partners around the world for community-engaged engineering education, research, partnerships and action. Many students go on immersions or breakouts inside and outside the U.S. for hands-on social impact engineering projects.

Earn Your Master's Sooner
Students can also earn their master’s at UD at an accelerated rate through our Bachelor’s Plus Master’s Program. Earn up to six credits that count for both undergraduate and graduate degree requirements, and enjoy 30% off graduate tuition for the first year of the master’s program. On average, most students graduate with their master’s degree in two additional semesters.
