Electrical Engineering Degree Options

Students in the BSEE program may choose their engineering technical elective courses to match their interests and career goals. We offer a variety of technical elective courses in key high-tech areas. 

Technical Electives

Oregon Tech is a university member of the MECOP internship program and students in our BSEE program are eligible and encouraged to apply and participate. 

MECOP's objective is to enhance the education of students through internships at a variety of high-quality companies, each of which is screened for acceptance into MECOP with the same level of scrutiny that MECOP places on selecting students. To ensure a diverse experience, participating students are required to intern at two different companies in an effort to give the students as much real-world experience as possible and to expose students to differing work cultures and industries. Students are paid by the member company at approximately 70% of a similar entry level position.

By participating in MECOP, students are guided through their coursework, participate in seminars and engage in two six-month internships with MECOP's business partners. It generally takes MECOP participants an extra year to complete their degree program (five-year degree/two six-month internships). Students who are interested should plan early and apply their sophomore year. Please see the MECOP website for more information.
