At Wisconsin:
Electrical & Computer Engineering
Bachelor of Science, Computer Engineering
Ranking: 14
Computer engineers design, develop, and manage systems that process, store, and convey information. These systems include computers, networks, digital systems and any device or system with an electronic “brain”. They also conduct research on ideas for new computer technologies. Computer engineers are heavily involved in the growing Internet and E-commerce areas and also develop the computer-aided design tools that are used in every other type of engineering. A computer engineer typically has the hardware background of an electrical engineer and the software background of a computer scientist.
Bachelor of Science, Electrical Engineering
Ranking: 17
Electrical engineers create and innovate electrical and electronic components and systems. They also conduct research on ideas for new technologies. Examples include electric power generation and distribution, mobile communications, robotics, biomedical devices and systems, alternative and sustainable energy sources, automotive electronics, electric and hybrid-electric transportation systems, consumer products, data processing tools, and electronic sensors and sensing systems. The electrical engineer is also concerned with the devices that make up such systems: transistors, integrated circuits, antennas, computer memory devices, and fusion plasma confinement devices.
Then there is separate department for Computer Science
BA/BS in Computer Sciences
We offer a state-of-the-art undergraduate curriculum that is continually updated by the faculty research experience. Students fulfilling the degree requirements may earn a BA, a BS, or a certificate in Computer Sciences. The department offers project-oriented courses in artificial intelligence, computational biology, computer architecture, computer graphics, computer networks, computer security, computer systems, databases, human-computer interaction, operating systems, programming languages and compilers, software engineering and wireless systems. These systems courses are complemented by undergraduate analysis courses in algorithms and complexity, systems performance modeling and analysis, numerical analysis and optimization.
