Learn by Doing
We prepare students to engineer ambitiously.
We offer students real-world experience and industry connections to engineer for the cyber future and create more durable, sustainable technologies for human creativity and communication. We believe that good design is inspired by how humans think about and interact with technology. We present electrical and computer engineering as an integrated tool-kit that students can use to design hardware for AI and chips for edge computing, develop next-generation photovoltaic cells, improve medical imaging, and increase the security and performance of wireless communications.
Our graduates have joined leading high-tech and semiconductor firms including Amazon, Apple, IBM and Intel Corporation; advanced manufacturers such as Ford, Boeing and SpaceX; and gold-standard consulting firms such as Booz Allen, earning a median entry-level annual salary of $78,000. Others have earned admission to prestigious graduate schools, including the California Institute of Technology, Stanford, Princeton and MIT, in addition to our own graduate programs here at UVA.
Graduates of the Bachelors of Science in electrical engineering program are successful practitioners and innovators in electrical engineering and other fields. They analyze, design and implement creative solutions to problems with electrical and electronic devices and systems.
Graduates of the Bachelors of Science in Computer Engineering Program are successful practitioners and innovators in computer engineering and other fields. They analyze, design and implement creative solutions to problems with computer hardware, software, systems and applications.
UVA ECE fourth-years form teams to apply and demonstrate what they have learned in a capstone course. They conduct use-inspired research and engineer solutions to every-day problems, which they present at a mid-semester poster show and demonstrate during a December research fair.
UVA Engineers are prepared and ready to tackle global challenges. See why our undergraduates are known for their knowledge, leadership and service to society.
Meet Caroline Crockett, UVA ECE's New Faculty Member and FUN III Instructor
