Electrical & Computer Engineering

Bachelor of Science, Master of Science

Sam Greenberg ’18

"When I was looking at schools I knew that engineering was exactly what I wanted to study, but I always liked talking about things outside of engineering. I decided to visit Bucknell and fell in love with the campus right away."

24/7

All electrical and computer engineering laboratories are accessible for undergraduate use 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week when they are not being used by scheduled classes.

Samriddha Roy ’16

This summer, Samriddha worked with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department to create an online catalog to sell various electrical kits and components.

Did You Know?

Five-year programs lead to a dual degree in engineering and management, B.A. combined with a B.S.E.E., and a B.S. and M.S.E.E.

Computer engineering students complete a major design project in their senior year. Students gain formal design experience that integrates and applies basic computer engineering to the process of system design and implementation.

Students become part of a small department that emphasizes close interaction between students and faculty.

Most core courses and many elective courses have weekly laboratory sessions that provide hands-on learning experiences.

Faculty Spotlight

Meet all of our faculty

Assistant Professor

Philip Asare

"Whatever else my students learn, I want them to know how to work well with people. This means clients — and perhaps even more importantly, other team members."

Assistant Professor

Amal Kabalan

"I joined Bucknell because the University has an environment that encourages students to solve important, current world problems through science."

Professor

Alan Cheville

"When you say 'teaching,' I feel like that puts me at the center of a discussion -- and that's not what it's about. That's not why we're supposed to be here. We're here for the students."

Hands-on Experience

Outside the Classroom

Study Abroad

The College of Engineering has recently created new Bucknell faculty-led study abroad opportunities for engineering students. These programs have taken students to England, Argentina, Switzerland, Germany, France, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

Research

Undergraduate Research

Students are encouraged to participate in research opportunities with faculty mentors. Students can develop their own research projects under the guidance of a faculty mentor, or they can assist a faculty member with his or her scholarly work.

Internships

Computer Engineering Internships

Recent students have secured internships with:

Lockheed Martin
General Electric
Raytheon
IBM
Federal Aviation Administration

Internships

Electrical Engineering Internships

Students can gain hands-on and career experience through summer internships. Recently, students have interned at Allegheny Power, BAE Systems, First Solar, General Electric, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, JPMorgan Chase, Lockheed Martin, NASA, National Institute of Standards and Technology, National Security Agency, Northrop Grumman, PPL, Raytheon, and SAIC.
