About Us

The 21st century world is increasingly reliant on electrical and computer systems. Electrical and Computer Engineers are critical for the Air Force to operate in Air, Space, and Cyberspace. Graduates have the depth and breadth necessary to thrive in today’s highly technical professional environment.

The ECE major prepares cadets to become electrical and computer engineers. However, it also opens the door to a variety of Air Force careers that range from U.S. Air Force test pilots to cyber warfare specialists. As an Air Force computer or electrical engineer, you will combine your creativity and analytic ingenuity to optimize existing computing and electrical systems, as well as design new systems that have not yet even been conceived. Air Force officers who understand these emerging technologies can use their expertise to gain a “combat edge” over our adversaries. If you want to foster your understanding of modern technologies and help the Air Force develop new and better techniques to accomplish its mission, this major may be for you.
