ECE THREADS

Starting from summer 2021, ECE shook things up for both the Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering undergrad programs. We're talking about our cool new "Threads" approach.

What's a Thread? Think of it as your own personal mixtape of courses. You get to pick any two Threads that catch your vibe and mix them to shape your Bachelor's degree. It's all about choosing courses that match your interests and goals, whether they're more electrical, computer-focused, or a bit of both.

We can't wait to see the unique combos you all come up with. It's like building your own engineer avatar, and we're here for it. So, get ready to craft a degree that’s as unique as you are!
