Course overview
Electrical and Computer Engineering at Fairfield University is an interdisciplinary program that enables students to study in several fields including (but not limited to) engineering, mathematics, science, computer hardware, computer software, power, VLSI, sensors, mixed signals, measurement, controls, biomedical, nanotechnology and business. Each student can establish a unique educational identity. The MSECE graduate student can obtain a leadership position in a high-technology industry. In a time when the ability to innovate is the only sustainable competitive advantage, an ECE degree unlocks the door to an entrepreneurial career. Our graduates work to design and build state-of-the-art products and are highly sought after by employers.
Students may take elective courses in mechanical engineering, software engineering and management of technology. As a consequence, students gain technical skills and a sense of the economic and business values needed to employ technology to serve society's needs. Some of our students have selected to participate in business plan competitions and engage in engineering entrepreneurship. We have strong ties to the Inventors Association of Connecticut, the Technology Venture community and local industry.
