At the Russ College, our School of Electrical 工程 和 Computer Science offers the opportunity to create for good. From your iPhone to your airport runway, as an electrical engineer or computer scientist, you'll touch many lives through your work. Our electrical 和 electronics engineering faculty research, 设计, 开发, 和 test new technologies like navigation systems or the latest cell phone technology – 和 they teach students how to do the same.

Computer engineers research, 设计, 开发, 和 test new hardware 和 software, while computer scientists 开发 和 analyze software 和 applications, 和 apply algorithms 和 computing technologies to fields like medicine 和 education.

通过我们的 B.S.M.S. degree programs in either electrical engineering or computer science, or our Ph.D. degree program in electrical engineering 和 computer science, you'll experience what it means to create for good – 开发ing tomorrow's technology 和 improving society. Studying another discipline? We also offer an academic minor program in computer science that is available to students in other majors at the university, plus undergraduate 和 graduate certificates in bioinformatics.

In partnership with governmental 和 private industry, faculty in the School of Electrical 工程 和 Computer Science are shaping the future of these fields through applied research at the Avionics 工程 Center — the only facility of its kind in the U.S. -和 Center for Scientific Computing 和 Immersive Technology, where some researchers in the VITAL Lab are applying computer gaming technology to practical purposes like personalized health care 和 personal finance education.

历史 

Ohio University has a rich history in both electrical engineering 和 computer science, beginning with the first electrical engineering classes in 1891. Once the first computer arrived at Ohio University in 1957, computer programming classes followed within the year. We 开发ed one of the first computer science programs in the nation in 1966. In 1995, the Department of Electrical 和 Computer 工程 和 the Department of Computer Science merged to form what is now the School of Electrical 工程 和 Computer Science.

As a student in the School of Electrical 工程 和 Computer Science at the Russ College, you'll benefit from the depth of our experience educating world-class engineers 和 technologists 和 conducting cutting-edge research in these rapidly changing fields.
