Bachelor of Science

SUNY Polytechnic Institute

SUNY Polytechnic Institute, New York’s premier public polytechnic, provides an innovative and affordable higher education for students interested in science, engineering, technology, business, healthcare, and other liberal arts offerings for a well-rounded approach to experiential learning. Our commitment to a hands-on education situates students with both the academic structure customary of undergraduate study and unique opportunities for training and cutting-edge research, ultimately providing learners an unmatched education targeted for success in our fast-changing world. SUNY Poly students enjoy public school tuition with benefits that many small, private institutions boast, including small class sizes, individualized learning experiences, and a tight-knit community.

The Program

Electrical and computer engineering, one of the broadest engineering disciplines, focuses on applying the laws of physics governing electricity, magnetism and light to the development of products and services that will meet people’s needs. The field is continually evolving as engineers, recognized as key players in the technological enrichment of the future, pursue industry innovations that make advancement possible.

The program offers a balance of theory and application comprising two areas of study: liberal arts, math, science and engineering coursework; and studies in electrical engineering and computer engineering.

Students in the program are challenged to adapt to rapid changes in technology and remain at the leading edge of innovation, as they pursue:

• a solid foundation in mathematics, physical sciences, humanities and social sciences and the fundamentals of engineering design and analysis

• the technical knowledge and critical thinking skills required for the professional practice of electrical and computer engineering, and for seeking advanced degrees

• the development of communication skills, teamwork, lifelong learning, and understanding of professional ethical and social responsibility in a global context.

The engineering programs at SUNY Poly are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering & Technology (ABET).

Concentrations

Students may choose between two areas of concentration: Electrical Engineering (EE) and Computer Engineering (CoE). The EE track focuses on traditional EE disciplines including signal processing, semiconductor devices, communications, and control theory. The CoE track emphasizes digital systems design, computer architecture, networking, and systems.

Labs

Students have access to multiple specialized laboratories with electrical and electronic materials and tools, including function generators, power supplies, multimeters, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, microcontroller demonstration boards, logic analyzers, digital probes, simulations software and more. Recent grants are providing state-of-the-art capabilities including an Internet of Things (IoT) laboratory, digital radio trainers focused on 5G systems, spread spectrum technology, Software Defined Radios (SDRs) and modern educational training systems for vehicular electronic power devices and rechargeable batteries.

Faculty

SUNY Poly faculty work closely with students and challenge them to excel. Many members of the faculty have experience in business and industry as well as academic credentials. A low student-to-faculty ratio (11:1) means faculty really get to know and work closely with students.

Career Opportunities

Graduates with a BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering program have the opportunity to pursue a number of career paths in a variety of settings. The skills and knowledge developed as an undergraduate prepare students for careers in development, design, communications, production, marketing, research, and operations in a widerange of industries that include mechanics, aeronautics, healthcare, green energy, and robotics.
