Bachelor's in Electrical & Computer Engineering

Bachelor’s programme in Electrical and Computer Engineering offers two concentrations:

• Computer Engineering
• Automated Systems Management

The Programme consists of six different modules:

Students are required to collect in total no less than 240 ECTS credits.

Program graduates will acquire knowledge in physics, mathematics, engineering disciplines, information technologies, programming languages, Computer-Aided-Design/Computer-Aided-Manufacturing systems. They will be able to create communication networks and control technological manufacturing processes by means of computers, microprocessors, special diagnostic and monitoring apparatus.

One of the best practices in the programme is Sophomore, Junior and Senior Projects. Every semester students are required to design and build their own projects in Robotics Laboratory using the knowledge accumulated in lectures. By the end of the semester projects are presented to the faculty members in the form of scientific report. 

Programme Objectives:

The programme objective is to prepare bachelors of engineering in electrical and computer engineering, ready to perform both theoretical and practical work. Graduates will acquire knowledge, based on engineering disciplines and information technologies, in order to perform versatile, complex activities in the area of electrical and computer engineering.

The program represents the unity of related specializations, which are based on deep electro-technical and computer education and corresponds to market requirements: automation and control systems, computer engineering, computer sciences, electro-mechanics, electro-technics and manufacturing electronics. Graduate will be able to continue study at the next level of education.

Career Options:

Bachelor’s degree, in addition to a successful academic career, provides the opportunities to be employed at institutions, where elaboration of electrical devices, their design and construction, operation and software support is needed. These are the modern companies, equipped with automated control systems and institutions providing corresponding design and expertise services:

• Signal processing and telecommunication engineering;
• Embedded systems engineering;
• Robotics engineering;
• Power engineering (control and monitoring);
• Healthcare (continuous energy supply of hospitals, climate-control, service of apparatus, design and service of pharmaceutical production companies);
• Construction (design and operation of energy supply and climate-control systems for ordinary and “smart buildings” – HVAC systems);
• Service and monitoring of transportation (diagnostics of automobile control and monitoring systems, adjustment and testing diagnostics apparatus);
• Food industry (automation of quality control);
• Water and natural gas supply companies (design, construction and control of expenditure, quality control and parameter monitoring systems);
• Agriculture (control and monitoring of farms and greenhouses).
