The world needs engineers with more than just great technical skills — it needs ethical and visionary leaders. Bucknell's nationally ranked electrical engineering and computer engineering majors will help you develop personally as you prepare for a career with employers such as Amazon, Lockheed Martin or Accenture — or any job seeking the in-demand skills and experiences you’ll gain. You'll connect with professors at the top of fields from renewable energy to embedded systems to smart surgical technologies, and build a professional network to last a lifetime. You'll also find the flexibility to pursue an academic minor, study abroad or play an instrument — and still graduate in four years.
Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering? There’s Time to Decide
Bucknell offers distinct bachelor of science degree tracks in electrical engineering and computer engineering. The course requirements for the first two years of the two programs are identical, offering students time to decide which path to pursue, and allowing them to easily switch between programs.

The Dominguez Center for Data Science
Data Excellence
The new Dominguez Center for Data Science will launch in 2024, and with it, programming that leverages curriculum, research and the expertise of faculty from all three of Bucknell's colleges. Students can expect real-world, hands-on learning experiences that prepare them for 21st century careers and foster ethical data-driven decision-making and creative problem-solving, no matter their area of study.
I chose Bucknell because of its prestigious and expansive electronics and computing programs — as well as its vast makerspaces.
