The department offers two undergraduate degrees: the bachelor of arts (BA) and the bachelor of science in electrical engineering (BSEE). The BA degree provides a basic foundation in electrical and computer engineering that the student can build on to construct a custom program. Because of its flexibility and large number of (free) electives, the BA can be combined easily with courses from other departments to create an interdisciplinary program. This may be particularly appropriate for students planning further study in law, business, or medicine. The program leading to the BA Degree is not accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET. The program leading to the BSEE degree is accredited by the EAC of ABET, (ABET, Inc. 415 North Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, Phone: 410-347-7700, Email: , Website: The BSEE degree is the usual degree taken by those students planning a career in engineering practice. The program for the BSEE requires more hours and greater depth than the BA degree; however, it still provides considerable flexibility and can reduce the time required to become a licensed professional engineer. In the final year, BSEE students undertake a capstone design project. Both degrees are organized around a core of required courses and a selection of elective courses from four specialization areas: Computer Engineering; Neuroengineering; Photonics Electronics, and Nano-devices; and Systems: Control, Communication and Signal Processing. Each studentâ€™s program must contain a course sequence that provides depth in one area and courses from at least two areas to provide breadth. The specialization electives provide the flexibility to create a focus that crosses traditional areas. Because of the number of options, students should consult early with departmental advisors to plan a program that meets their needs. Program Learning Outcomes Graduates awarded the BS in Electrical Engineering will be able to demonstrate: An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering. An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data. An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability. An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility. An ability to communicate effectively. The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context. A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning. A knowledge of contemporary issues. An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice. Specialization Area Courses for BS in Electrical Engineering ECE undergraduate degrees are organized around a core of required courses and a selection of elective courses from four specialization areas: Computer Engineering Neuroengineering Photonics, Electronics, and Nano-devices Systems: Control, Communication, and Signal Processing. This program based on Photonics, Electronics, and Nano-devices.
