Electrical Engineering

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.
