These are exciting times in engineering and computer science. Revolutionary changes in multiple areas continue to transform the operations of most traditional employers of engineers and computer scientists. The demand for individuals with degrees in engineering and computer science is greater than ever. In addition, new nontraditional opportunities for engineering and computer science graduates are opening in law, medicine, public policy, finance, management, and communications. Traditional tools and technical know-how are often no longer enough. Today’s engineers and computer scientists must possess a broader set of perspectives, experiences, and skills to contribute successfully in a dynamic, rapidly changing world.
Syracuse University’s L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science (LCS) offers courses and programs that are designed to prepare leaders for a high-technology, knowledge-based global community. Through courses in the college and across the University, LCS offers students a breadth of opportunities and experiences that is unmatched by programs at most other universities.
The college offers nine undergraduate programs: bachelor of science programs in aerospace engineering, bioengineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, environmental engineering, and mechanical engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, and bachelor science program in computer is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
New engineering and computer science students enroll in ECS 101 Introduction to Engineering and Computer Science. ECS 101 provides a broad introduction to each of our degree programs, allowing students an opportunity to explore each area before they choose a major. ECS 101 is also open to students of other SU colleges who are interested in exploring the areas of engineering or computer science as a potential field of academic study.
LCS students may choose from a variety of study options, including technical and non-technical minors, combined B.S./M.S. degree programs, and a combined undergraduate degree program between LCS and the College of Arts and Sciences. The college also offers its students opportunities for co-op, study abroad, and undergraduate research.
Founded in 1901, LCS enjoys a long-standing reputation for excellence and innovation. The college community is composed of outstanding students, faculty, and staff who are dedicated to personal excellence and success.
