The University of Memphis

Electrical Engineering & Computer Engineering programs provide the technology that created the information age in which we live. From the telephone, television and radio to smartphones, gaming consoles and the Internet, electrical engineering and computer engineering continue to drive the technical advances that radically alter our lives. For the future, electrical and computer engineers will develop more sustainable sources of energy, like solar and wind power, and more efficient devices, like appliances and computers that will help maintain our world and extend our natural resources. They contribute to medical technology that helps keep us healthy or cure us when we are ill. Do you listen to music on your smartphone or tablet? An electrical and computer engineer designed the hardware and software that allow you to enjoy your tunes that way. Our programs provide graduates with a thorough understanding of the theoretical and philosophical principles of computer hardware and software, electronics, electric power and signal processing and communications, so they are prepared to apply their knowledge through design to a variety of applications.
