distribution of energy in the form of electricity and continues to develop at an accelerated pace, electronic communication devices, and computers designed to capture, create, process, transform, display, and distribute information. Electrical Engineering is one of the disciplines supporting the development and operation of this critical infrastructure. It has evolved from the study of fundamental electrical principles to encompass sophisticated communication and computation techniques, thus helping spawn new disciplines in Computer Engineering and Computer Science. The ECECS Department offers students an opportunity to meet their learning goals and to be key contributors to our information society by pursuing one of the three Bachelor of Science degrees available in our program. These are Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Computer Science.<\/p><p>Students with interests in smart grid power systems, communications, signal processing, automatic controls, industrial automation, and computer hardware and software, will find a wide variety of subjects shared among the three programs when choosing their intended field of study to achieve their career goals. In addition, students can enrich their undergraduate program by participating in the BS-MS combined program, thus being able to take advanced graduate courses for credit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5087346 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"5087346\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Button trigger modal -->\r\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-primary signup_infor\" data-bs-toggle=\"modal\" data-bs-target=\"#sign_more_info\">\r\n  Sign up for more info!\r\n<\/button>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa69abd elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-mobile-align-center elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"aa69abd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pupr.edu\/orlando\/contact\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">CONTACT US<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-174357c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"174357c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c50cca5\" data-id=\"c50cca5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c126bbf degree_tabs_UI elementor-tabs-view-horizontal elementor-widget elementor-widget-tabs\" data-id=\"c126bbf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"tabs.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tabs\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tabs-wrapper\" role=\"tablist\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2021\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"true\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2021\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Electrical Engineering Program<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2022\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2022\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Computer Engineering Program<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2023\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2023\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Computer Science Program<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2024\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2024\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Course Descriptions<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2025\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2025\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Faculty<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tabs-content-wrapper\" role=\"tablist\" aria-orientation=\"vertical\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"true\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2021\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Electrical Engineering Program<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2021\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2021\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"false\"><h2>Electrical Engineering Program<\/h2><p>This four-year program develops the required knowledge, skills, and dispositions to face the dynamics of technological environment in contemporary society.
