Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering - Computer Option

Program Overview

In the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering program, students can work toward a career in electrical engineering or opt for a computer engineering focus. You will first build a foundation in universal engineering theories, mathematics, and the physical sciences before moving on to more specialized courses. This program is ABET-accredited.

Computer Option
The computer option in the electrical engineering program at Hofstra is an interdisciplinary field applying principles and concepts in electrical engineering and computer science to the design of computers and digital systems. The objective of the program is to provide an integrated knowledge of the organization and operation of various classes of digital devices and systems and the interrelations between the physical hardware and the system software. Therefore, the program offers courses in electronics, logical design, computer architecture, switching theory, data structures, microprocessor systems, operating systems, and assembly language programming, among others. A capstone design course on digital systems and a group project requiring the design of a hardware/software system are part of the curriculum.

Students graduating with this degree may pursue career opportunities in industry, government, private research institutions, or may continue their formal education in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or other computer related disciplines.

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.
