Electrical Engineering Program

Catalog 2006/07

Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering


The Electrical Engineering program includes a technical core of fundamental disciplines, complemented by specialization courses in the wide spectrum of electrical engineering applications. The electrical engineering core includes courses in signals and systems, analog devices and circuits, digital circuits and systems, and project management.

Elective courses allow students to pursue their interests in specialized fields within any of the specializations. They are used to keep the program at the edge of new technologies by presenting special topics and state-of-the-art technologies and applications as they are developed.

The capstone for all technical courses is the Senior Project, a design/research course which validates the preparation of the engineering students to propose, implement, and present a complete project under the guidance of an advisor.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LEARNING OUTCOMES

By completing the requirements for the Electrical Engineering degree students will be able to:

  1. Apply mathematics, sciences, and engineering principles to define and solve engineering problems
  2. Use tools, techniques, skills and resources to design systems, components, software, and processes to satisfy desired specifications
  3. Collect and analyze data to evaluate and optimize components and systems
  4. Function in a multi-disciplinary teams
