Customize Your Journey in Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering

The Department of Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering at Case School of Engineering at Case Western Reserve University brings together three degree programs under one umbrella, allowing you to benefit from the resulting synergy of electrical engineering, computer engineering, and systems and control engineering degrees.

Our approach serves as a model for innovative education and research, which prepares you to solve significant industrial and societal problems through a broad range of technical and leadership skills.

At CWRU, you will gain theoretical knowledge in the classroom as well as practical research in the lab as early as your first year. You will also receive real-world experience through Case School of Engineering's extensive co-operative education program.

The department offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in electrical engineering and computer engineering and graduate programs in systems and control engineering (also available 100% online).

Our graduates work in a variety of technology sectors, including computer and internet, healthcare and medical devices, manufacturing and automation, automotive and aerospace, defense, finance, energy and consulting.
