Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Mission Statement,
Objectives, and Outcomes
Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) is the analysis, design, and application of
devices and systems for conversion, processing, and transmission of electrical energy and
information. Electrical and Computer Engineering at Grove City College now covers such
basic topics as electric circuits, electronics, electrical machines and power distribution, and
digital systems; as well as advanced topics in communication systems, computer systems,
and control systems. Electrical and computer engineers practice in the field in a variety of
professional duties including research, design and development, management, sales, field
service, testing, manufacturing, and education.
The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Grove City College offers a
program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) degree. The
Electrical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission
(EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), 111 Market
Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, Maryland 21202-4012, telephone: 410-347-7700.
Proficiency in writing and speaking skills is essential to a productive career in any
