Engineering & Computer Science Degree Programs

engineeringCivil Engineering

Civil engineering is a professional discipline that deals with the design and construction of structures and systems in harmony with the natural environment. Bridges, roads, dams, buildings, and urban developments are designed with emphasis on environmental sustainability and social impact. Our curriculum, steeped in a thorough understanding of mathematics, the physical and natural sciences, and the liberal arts, challenges students to fully understand the multifaceted implications of their designs and endeavors.

All University of Evansville civil engineering students take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, an important first step toward registration as a professional engineer. For eleven consecutive years, our civil engineering graduates have boasted a passing rate higher than the national average.

The civil engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

Computer Engineering

Computer engineering bridges the areas of electrical engineering and computer science, providing an in-depth understanding of topics in electrical engineering that are related to the design and use of computers. Software design and implementation, especially applications in real time operation, are also integral components of this degree program. Our curriculum provides a broad-based understanding of hardware and software, as well as their interaction, and places a high value on creativity, invention, the continual learning of new concepts, and ethical practices in the profession.

The computer engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

Electrical Engineering

Electrical engineering is one of engineering’s broadest fields of study. Modern life is permeated with the latest electrical and technical advances, everything from PDAs and wireless communication to electronically controlled motors. It is a discipline that has truly transformed the way we live and think about the natural world. This transformation is ongoing, and successful electrical engineers must be open to the continuous learning of new concepts and information.

The electrical engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering encompasses applications as diverse as automotive and aerospace vehicles, power generation, manufacturing processes, plastic and petrochemical products, and electronic hardware. The engineer must understand relationships between forces and motion, the nature of materials, principles of energy, design and analysis of machines, the transmission of heat, and the flow of fluids. Our curriculum places a high value on design, teamwork, the product realization process, the continual learning of new concepts, and the ethical considerations.

The mechanical engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation.

Computer Science

Computer science emphasizes study, design, and implementation of computer software systems and the scientific and industrial applications of the discipline. Systems software, operating systems, programming languages, software engineering, computer architecture, networks, graphics, and artificial intelligence are at the heart of its academic infrastructure. Students in this degree program also complete a set of core requisite classes, including mathematics, natural sciences, data structures and algorithms, object-oriented design, and digital logic.

Master of Science in Computer Science and Engineering

Our newest program bridges the disciplines of computer science and electrical engineering, at the master's level. Undergraduates completing degrees in computer science, computer engineering, or electrical engineering can increase their knowledge and marketability through this program.
