Electrical Engineering, B.S.

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering blends theory and practice, directed at engineering design as opposed to research. The program produces practical design engineers capable of analyzing the technical needs of society and creates the next generation of electrical and electronic circuits. Topics covered include circuit theory and modeling, computer-aided circuit simulation, signals and systems, microwave engineering, VHDL and telecommunications. All students will complete a capstone in which they propose, design, build, test, analyze and deliver a working prototype circuit to meet engineering standards and realistic constraints.

The B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria.

Program Educational Objectives

Within three to five years of graduation,

Graduates will have successful careers or engaged in an advanced study in electrical engineering or related fields.
Graduates will continue to adapt to changes in technology and society, and be effective communicators in their profession.
Graduates utilize their EE knowledge and critical thinking skills to participate in identifying, analyzing, and solving problems facing humankind.

Student Outcomes

Upon graduation, graduates will be able to

Identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics
Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety and welfare, as well as global, cultural social, environment and economic factors
Communicate effectively with a range of audiences
Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and societal contexts
Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leaderships, crate a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks and meet objectives
Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
