OSWEGO — The State University of New York (SUNY) Oswego will offer a new bachelor’s degree in electrical and computer engineering next fall.
The new degree will come as the school opens its new $118 million science and engineering complex. The new program will help meet demand for engineers in fields like bioinstrumentation, robotics and power systems, and in embedded systems such as microprocessors, according to the university.
At least 80 students will enroll in the program once it’s up and running with about 20 graduating per year, according to the school. SUNY Oswego developed program with the help of area companies including Welch Allyn, Lockheed Martin, National Grid, Saab Sensis, O’Brien & Gere, Novelis, and SRC.
The new program will join software engineering in the college’s computer science department.
