The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers programs at the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels. At the bachelor's degree level, the department offers programs leading to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.S.E.), Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (B.S.Cmp.E.), and Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (B.S.E.E.) degrees. The department also offers a minor in Electrical and Computer Engineering. The B.S.E. degree program is designed for students who desire broad flexibility and the opportunity for interdisciplinary study; it does not have a designated professional curriculum. Additional information about the B.S.E. program can be obtained from the faculty in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The programs leading to the B.S.E.E. and B.S.Cmp.E. are described in this section. Graduate programs in electrical and computer engineering are described in the section entitled "Graduate Engineering Programs" in this bulletin.
Electrical engineering and computer engineering programs are designed to prepare students for careers in the commercial, government, and academic sectors, where electrical and computer engineering expertise is needed in hardware and software design, information processing, circuits and electronics, control and robotics, communications and signal processing, energy systems, and manufacturing. Programs in the department are enhanced by interaction with local industry. Students have direct and routine access to full-time faculty, which further strengthens and accelerates the learning process. These advantages and the metropolitan environment of the university lead to an application-oriented, practical education that prepares students for success.
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering regards research as an important catalyst for excellence in engineering education. Undergraduate and graduate research and undergraduate design projects in the areas of signal processing, loT, machine learning, deep learning, cybersecurity, cryptography, power, communications, image processing, artificial intelligence, networking, software engineering, embedded systems, high performance computing, gpu programming, control, robotics, manufacturing, medical imaging, nanotechnology, micro-electronics, and ASIC and FPGA based electronics offer opportunities for applying and deepening students' expertise.
An undergraduate education in electrical or computer engineering provides a strong foundation in the mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences. In acquiring this knowledge, students must also develop problem-solving skills. In addition, the general-education courses in the program provide communication skills and the appreciation of human and social issues necessary to translate engineering achievements into advances for society.
Admission into Electrical and Computer Engineering
Freshman engineering students who declare a computer engineering or electrical engineering major must complete all Freshman Engineering requirements, including minimum grade requirements, before registering for ECE courses and being accepted into the department. For the freshman-year course lists and grade requirements, visit: http://www.engr.iupui.edu/departments/ece/undergrad/ece-academic-policies.php.
Electrical and computer Engineering 5-year B.S./M.S. Program
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers a 5-year B.S./M.S. Program for both BSEE and BSCmpE majors. The program provides academically successful students the opportunity to earn both a Bachelor's and a master's degree in five years. To be eligible for this combined-degree program, students must have a minimum 3.2 cumulative GPA at the beginning of the junior year in the bachelor's degree program, and must maintain this GPA throughout the remainder of the undergraduate program.

Minor in Electrical and Computer Engineering
The minor in Electrical and Computer Engineering provides students in related science and engineering programs with the opportunity to gain fundamental knowledge in the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and to participate in interdisciplinary study.
The total credit hours required is 21 credit hours. A student must take at least 12 required credit hours in the IUPUI ECE department and cannot count more than nine equivalent credit hours in ECE minor. The minor will be posted to the student's transcript concurrent with the major bachelor's degree.
Student must take all of the following courses (or equivalent courses) and receive at least a C grade for each course.
