University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign The Grainger College of Engineering 23 courses
for the Undergraduate Minor in Electrical & Computer Engineering Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) transforms our day-to-day lives through a multitude of innovative technologies and products related to energy and information exchange. The ECE minor is intended to expose students from other disciplines to the unlimited opportunities for innovation in this exciting field, and to the methodologies and tools used by electrical and computer engineers for the exploration and design of new technologies and products. The minor is open to undergraduates outside the ECE Department. Computer Science majors cannot elect the Computer Engineering Option within the minor.
