Undergraduate Degree Programs

Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering (ECE)

The College of Engineering of De La Salle University has designed and offers a program in Electronics and Communications Engineering (ECE) in order to produce engineers with greater depth and breadth of knowledge of electronics. Graduates of this program can therefore easily adopt themselves completely into the various fields of electronics such as telecommunications, radio and TV broadcasting and other communications engineering technologies, industrial electronics and instrumentation, semiconductor applications and manufacture, systems analysis and controls engineering, and even in the software and hardware side of computer science and engineering.

The ECE Department also offers elective courses that will initiate graduates into the more recent areas of digital signal processing; neural networks and fuzzy logic; VLSI technology and linear and nonlinear control theory; and fiber optics communications and digital communications.
