Electrical - Computer ACCEND

Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science (www.ececs.uc.edu)

The Department prepares engineers to specify, design, develop, implement, evaluate and document successful solutions within challenging industrial and academic environments, and who will continue to prosper in their professional careers. We offer a range of academic programs including fully ABET accredited undergraduate programs in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and Computer Science, as well as MS and Ph.D. degrees. Each undergraduate program incorporates an outstanding cooperative education component in which students complement their academic curriculum with on-the-job experience in their chosen professions.

Currently, a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering with a Masters in Computer Engineering ACCEND program is available. The ACCEND program combines the broad, fundamental knowledge of electrical engineering concepts with the specialized applications of the computer engineering graduate degree to provide qualified students an unparalleled educational opportunity.

Advantages of the ACCEND program include:

• Obtain a BS and MS degree in 5 years
• Participate in a high quality, research oriented program
• Participate in Co-op and research projects
• Graduates receive higher pay and more challenging career opportunities
• Development of professionalism and maturity beyond that from traditional engineering programs
