Engineering challenges of the 21st century are rarely solved by focusing on only one engineering discipline. Complex engineering “systems” manage the world’s electrical, computer and mechanical infrastructures, and the understanding of the interrelationships between the components of those systems is at the heart of UA Little Rock’s systems engineering programs.

Our forward-looking programs equip students to understand the integration of diverse components needed to create complex systems. Graduates develop a strong core understanding of the concepts of systems engineering, mechanical systems engineering, and electrical and computer systems engineering.

Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering program teaches the design and analysis of various electrical systems including complex networks, digital and analog circuits, control and power system, integration of hardware, software, and operating systems with the goal of analyzing and optimizing computer systems, including networked systems.
