Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE)

Electrical and Computer engineers are at the forefront of today’s technological revolution and they continue to be in demand in all types of public and private enterprises. The value added in today’s products is primarily electronics and software. The Internet has filled our lives with their influences. Electrical and Computer engineering touch every aspect of today’s modern world. Our graduates are uniquely qualified to become engineers, capable of designing hardware and software. Electrical and Computer engineers work in the communications, controls, signal and image processing, biomedical, aerospace, electronics, computer hardware, embedded systems, materials, energy, defense, data gathering / analysis and other diverse commercial sectors. The Electrical and Computer Engineering programs provide the student with a thorough background in electronic/hardware and systems design. Individual students can tailor their program to his or her specific interests by selecting appropriate technical or design electives. Elective areas include electronics, and land-based wireless communications, VLSI, digital signal processing (DSP), power electronics, controls, robotics, image processing, and embedded systems. In all of our courses, we stress the balance of theory and practice. Career Opportunities: The application areas for electrical and computer engineering are fairly ubiquitous and our Electrical and Computer Engineering programs provide a broad based education that leads to employment in a diverse spectrum of industries in both private and public sectors, for example, aerospace, defense, telecommunications, automotive, medical electronics, multimedia and consumer electronic industries, energy and power. In particular we offer courses in electronic communications, power electronics, robotics, artificial intelligence, controls, digital signal/image processing, hardware design, architecture, software and hardware design, and embedded systems, power generation and distribution, alternative energy sources and integrating renewable forms of energy into the grid. Program Educational Objectives In support of the program objectives for the College of Engineering, the Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering programs will prepare our students to be proficient at putting theory into practice, capable of lifelong learning, and be aware of the social, ethical, and environmental issues associated with their professional activities. To ensure these goals, our specific expected accomplishments of our graduates during the first several years following graduation for the program are: to be successful analyzing, designing, or testing electrical/computer systems; to be a productive member of a team; to be assuming leadership roles in their career; to be contributing in professional and civic service; and to be pursuing lifelong learning. Student Outcomes The outcomes necessary to achieve our Electrical Engineering program and Computer Engineering program objectives are that our students will have: 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 multidisciplinary teams; An ability to identify, formulates, and solves engineering problems;
