The Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) prepares students for immediate entry into the technical workforce or to pursue further studies in Electrical Engineering, Computer engineering, and related fields at UVU or another university. Students can choose the Electrical Engineering Pathway or the Computer Engineering Pathway and be automatically qualified for the acceptance to the B.S. in Electrical Engineering or B.S. in Computer Engineering at UVU, respectively.
60 Credits to Graduate
The A.A.S. in ECE program provides a strong foundation in electrical and computer systems, including hardware, software, device drivers, and peripherals. It emphasizes both theory and practical application in computer architecture, data structures, algorithms, and engineering methods, with hands-on experience using integrated hardware–software platforms.
"I felt like each professor was personally invested in my success."
"I studied engineering at UVU because I felt like each professor was personally invested in my success. The small class sizes really helped me be able to work closely with professors to make sure that I understood the material in a way that prepared me for the professional field. Plus, I was able to apply what I learned to the world around me and I feel it has truly prepared me for the workplace."

"The pre-engineering program provides a supportive learning environment."
"The UVU pre-engineering program offers a strong foundation in engineering principles that prepare students with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in today's competitive landscape. The program prepares students to continue into the ABET-accredited UVU civil, mechanical, electrical, or computer engineering programs. The Associate of Science (A.S) or Associate of Pre-Engineering (A.P.E.) degrees also facilitate transfer to other Utah schools. The pre-engineering program provides a supportive learning environment and paves the way for success in advanced studies and rewarding engineering careers."
