EECS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
EECS (sometimes pronounced "eeks") is an abbreviation for Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences. It is a designation used at some universities for the major or department of the same name. One reason behind linking the two areas of study is to provide students with a broad overview of both software and hardware.
Not every university uses the EECS designation. Several universities, for example, have separate EE/ECE and CS departments/majors. Other schools use the similar ECE (Electrical and Computer Engineering) designation. Additionally, some schools which offer an EECS degree also offer degrees in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science separately.
