Undergraduate Programs
A few decades ago, the electrical and computer engineering discipline was virtually nonexistent. Today, it is one of the most rapidly growing fields in engineering. Build your future with a Bachelor’s in Engineering degree in computer or electrical engineering.
Computer Engineering
The curriculum of computer engineering provides a solid education in the fundamentals of electrical engineering and an extensive study of digital hardware and software. In the first two years students take courses that prepare them with the necessary background in mathematics, physics and the fundamental concepts and principles in circuit theory, electronics, digital systems, embedded microprocessor system design and computer science. In the third and fourth years, students take courses in computer architecture, software engineering, operating systems, and software tools.
Electrical Engineering
The electrical engineering curriculum at Stony Brook is designed to educate students for entry level positions in industry and other engineering organizations, or prepare them for graduate studies. It also provides students with broad exposure to other disciplines allowing for subsequent education in other professions, as well as promoting self-learning and personal development in order to excel in our rapidly advancing society.
Electrical Engineering Online
The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering online program is an upper division program intended for traditional students seeking a flexible schedule in pursuing a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and also non-traditional students who may work and have family responsibilities while they are enrolled in the program and seeking a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering.
Honors Program
The purpose of the honors program in Electrical and Computer Engineering is to give
high achieving students an opportunity to receive
validation for a meaningful research experience and for a distinguished academic career.
This honor is indicated on the diploma and on
the permanent academic record.
- Completion of a 1 credit seminar (ESE 494) on research techniques with a B or better during the junior year.
- Completion of ESE 495, a 3-credit honors research project, with a B or better. This is in addition to the senior design courses.
- Presentation of an honors thesis (written in the format of an engineering technical paper) under the supervision of an ESE faculty member. The thesis must be presented to and approved by a committee of two faculty members including the student’s advisor. Other members of the committee may include the Undergraduate Program Director, Honors Program Director or other Stony Brook faculty members. If thesis work is done in a different department, the student needs to have a faculty advisor in that department and a co-advisor in ECE.
- Maintaining a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 and a B or better in all major required courses (including math and physics) upon graduation.

Accelerated BE/MS Program
The goal of the accelerated degree programs is to provide students, who are seeking
greater challenge or more diverse range of studies,
with advanced courses that will suitably prepare them for graduate studies or a variety
of advanced professional positions. Accelerated
programs are as rigorous as the current BE and MS programs taken separately. Students
in the accelerated programs take two graduate
courses during their senior year. The courses are used to meet the requirements of
two electives in the BE program as well as satisfy 6
of the 30 credits required by the master’s degree. This allows students to complete
both the BE and MS degrees in 5 years.
- BE in Electrical Engineering / MS in Electrical Engineering
- BE in Computer Engineering / MS in Electrical Engineering
- BE in Electrical Engineering / MS in Computer Engineering
- BE in Computer Engineering / MS in Computer Engineering
- no TOEFL exam required
