Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Wired for Success

As an electrical engineer at Mercer, you’ll receive the necessary foundation to jump start your career after graduation. Students receive hands-on training while learning to function as a team of professionals with a common goal. Graduates are competent engineers who share the goal of communicating effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences alike.

Computer engineering students learn the engineering behind a variety of systems that operate in real-time and have a computer embedded as either a component or control. You’ll explore 4 fascinating areas of study – electronics fundamentals, general engineering fundamentals, engineering design, and computer systems principles – each of which will challenge you to develop new ways of thinking.
