Electrical and Computer Engineering

Bachelor of Science (BS)

Electrical and Computer Engineering is a field that plays a crucial role in technological advancements across interdisciplinary areas that include neurotechnology, integrated circuits, microelectronics, nanotechnology, computer architecture, sensing and communication, robotics and sustainable energy systems. The Electrical and Computer Engineering major at Berkeley prepares students to enter industry, federal government organizations, and academia with a balanced combination of breadth and depth to the ever-changing field and industrial market in ECE. Electrical and Computer Engineers apply math, science and engineering to develop technology that has a direct impact on our daily lives.

Admission to the Major

Prospective undergraduates to the College of Engineering apply to a specific major within the college. For further information, please see the College of Engineering's website.

Students accepted into colleges other than the College of Engineering will not be allowed to change to the College of Engineering in order to declare the ECE major. Prospective undergraduates interested in the ECE major must apply for admission to the College of Engineering. 

Accreditation

All UC Berkeley programs are accredited through the Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACS WASC).

Honors Program

The EECS honors degree program is designed to provide accomplished undergraduate students a greater connection to the department. Honors students pursue undergraduate research and select an academic concentration outside of ECE. In addition, students receive a special faculty adviser, engage in research, receive official notation of the honors degree on their Berkeley transcript, and are invited to special events with faculty and ECE honors alumni.
