Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (STEM)

Program Overview

Electrical engineering and computer engineering disciplines are concerned with the development and application of electrical and computer technology to enhance and enrich all life. Electrical and computer engineers, as part of this mission, are engaged in a wide variety of activities that include:

Space exploration and remote sensing
Process control and automation
Automatic control systems for use in robotics, missiles, aircraft, and manufacturing plants
Electric power generation and distribution, environmentally responsible generation and use of energy
Audio- video- and data-communication systems, and satellite communications
Digital processing of signals and images using the computer
Design and manufacturing of faster and more capable microprocessors for the computers of tomorrow
Applications of technology in the healthcare field through computerized ultrasound, radiology, tomography and imaging systems, computer-aided diagnosis and treatment, and tele-surgery.

The applications listed above require a solid foundation in mathematics and physics, thus requiring electrical and computer engineering students to go through a substantial set of courses in these areas. In addition, today’s engineers also must be aware of a wide variety of global, social, ethical, economic and environmental issues that are relevant to the systems they design and build. Our bachelor’s degree programs include courses and projects designed to build this awareness. The electrical and computer engineering program mission is consistent with the mission of the University and the School of Engineering.

What can I do with a degree in computer engineering?
Electrical and computer engineers find employment in a wide variety of manufacturing companies such as aerospace and aircraft, electric manufacturers, computer circuit (a.k.a.: “chip”) manufacturers, and medical equipment manufacturers. They are employed in the fields of research, design, manufacturing and sales. Many public utilities, which include power companies and telephone companies, employ both computer engineers and electrical engineers. Other potential employers include oil companies, railroads, food processing plants, chemical and biological laboratories, chemical plants, various branches of federal government, and many consulting engineering companies.

Scholarships

For issuing our GEO award we use cumulative GPA and not CGPA. We do our own evaluation using the students countries and schools scale to calculate the equivalent on the US scale. The GEO award is offered as long as an applicant has the equivalent of a 3.0 GPA on the US scale.

Affordable Education
SIUE offers academic excellence that is affordable. Our tuition and required fees are among the lowest of all four-year institutions in Illinois.

Graduate scholarships, fellowships and assistantships are awarded to qualifying students each year helping finance graduate education and providing opportunities for scholarly and creative activities. Additionally, the International GEO Scholarship offers a special tuition rate that is a 50% tuition reduction for academically qualified international students.

As an international student, you are required to show that you have the funds to support yourself for an entire calendar year before you can get a visa.

To help you get an idea of expected costs, please review the estimated tuition, fees and living expenses for one academic year.

Work Permit

PGWP

Optional Practical Training or OPT is a period during which students, who have completed their degrees in the USA, are permitted to work for one year on a student visa by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). OPT allows students to work for up to 3 years and develop real-world skills to survive in the competitive jobs market.

It is temporary employment for a period of 12-months that is directly related to the major area of study of an F-1 student. Eligible students have the option to apply for OPT employment authorization before completing their academic studies and/or after completing their academic studies.

A student can participate in three types of Optional Practical Training (OPT):

Pre-Completion OPT: This is temporary employment provided to F-1 students before completion of their course of study.
Post-Completion OPT: This is temporary employment available to F-1 students after completing their course of study.
24 Month STEM Extension: Students enrolled in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) courses can a 24-month extension after their initial Post-Completion OPT authorization.
