Concept
Some of the most significant achievements of present-day society would not have been possible without the work of highly motivated and innovative engineers and scientists. Electrical engineers and computer scientists in particular are involved in the design of all the components and systems that underlie our increasingly information-intensive activities. At Jacobs University, in recognition of the close interactions between the two disciplines, the fields of electrical engineering and computer science are integrated into a combined comprehensive three-year program.
Courses
During the first year, general (introductory) lectures and lab courses are mandatory. As outlined in the handbook, the students select more courses from a variety of electives from the School of Engineering and Science (SES) or from the School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS). In addition, so-called University Studies Courses (USCs) have to be selected which are taught by professors from both Schools. They are unique in that here perspectives from apparently different areas of science are brought together.
For a full listing of the Course Requirements of the Undergraduate EECS Program please see the program handbook.
