Mission Statement

The mission of the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of South Florida is to provide internationally recognized educational programs; to conduct and disseminate internationally recognized research benefiting humanity; to provide service to society; and to emphasis 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

  1. with the knowledge and skills necessary to practice Electrical Engineering successfully.

  2. who can pursue advanced topics through graduate or professional studies.

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 electronic, communications, power and controls, digital systems, microelectronics and information systems. The electrical graduate may apply his/her knowledge to such diverse areas as wireless and satellite communications, remote guidance, MEMS, sensing technology, systems integration, automation, computer and information systems, electronic 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. In addition, students must pass all required BSEE courses, except humanities and social sciences, with a grade of "C" or better.

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.

Some courses required for the major may also meet General Education Requirements thereby transferring maximum hours to the university.
