Mission Statement
The mission of the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of South Florida is to provide internationally recognized educational programs for students seeking a career in the Electrical Engineering profession and related fields; to conduct internationally recognized research which benefits humanity and to widely disseminate these findings; to utilize the resources of the program to provide service to society; and to empasize to students the need for lifelong learning, ethical conduct and an understanding of the diverse social context in which engineering is practiced.
Objectives
The Department objectives are to produce graduates
- with a sound background in mathematics, science and modern Electrical Engineering principles/tools in order to develop technical skills necessary for Electrical Engineering practice. Also, produce graduates who can pursue advanced topics through graduate or professional studies.
- who can apply the knowledge of electrical engineering principles to the design, evaluation and optimization of devices, components and systems that meet performance criteria including safety, economic and environmental concerns.
- with effective communication, interpersonal and problem solving skills that will enable them to practice electrical engineering successfully as individuals or as members of multidisciplinary teams, and instill in them the need for high ethical standards as well as the need to continue their professional development throughout their entire careers.
- with an appreciation of contemporary issues facing society including cultural and societal values for successful personal/professional lives.
Students pursuing the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering program take designated coursework in network analysis, electronics, communications, electromagnetic theory, control systems, microelectronics and microprocessors. This coursework is supplemented by electives in many specialized areas of electrical engineering.
Students completing this program normally pursue industrial careers in the power, electrical, electronic, or information industries or in related governmental laboratories and public service agencies. The electrical graduate may apply his/her knowledge to such diverse areas as television, communications, remote guidance, sensing (of people, vehicles, weather, crops, etc.), automation, computer and information systems, electric power generation and transmission, electrically propelled transportation, etc. The graduate may do this by performing needed engineering functions related to research and development (often requires an advanced degree), design, production, operation, sales, or management of these products/services.
The schedule which follows indicates how a serious, well prepared student who can devote full time to coursework can satisfy degree requirements in four academic years. Students without a solid foundation and those who cannot devote full time to academics should plan on a slower pace. A minimum departmental GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation.
Four-Year Curriculum in Electrical Engineering
Courses indicated with XXXX had not yet been assigned a number when the catalog went to print. See your academic advisor for additional information.
Prerequisites (State Mandated Common Prerequisites) for Students Transferring from a Community College:
If a student wishes to transfer without an A.A. degree and has fewer than 60 semester hours of acceptable credit, the student must meet the university’s entering freshman requirements including ACT or SAT test scores, GPA, and course requirements.
Students should complete the following prerequisite courses listed below at the lower level prior to entering the University. If these courses are not taken at the community college, they must be completed before the degree is granted. Unless stated otherwise, a grade of “C” is the minimum acceptable grade.
Some courses required for the major may also meet General Education Requirements thereby transferring maximum hours to the university.
