B.S in Electrical Engineering

This program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET www.abet.org.

The B.S.E.E. degree program prepares students for career opportunities in the hardware and software aspects of design, development, and operation of electronic systems and components, embedded systems, control and robotics, communications, digital signal processing, and energy systems. Challenging positions are available in the government, commercial, and education sectors, in the areas of electronics, communication systems, signal and information processing, power, automation, robotics and manufacturing, control, networking, information processing, and computing. Within these areas, career opportunities include design, development, research, manufacturing, marketing, operation, field testing, maintenance, and engineering management.

The Program Educational Objectives of the Electrical Engineering degree program are to prepare graduates who will be successful in their chosen career paths by:

1. becoming productive and valuable engineers in the private or public sector
2. pursuing and completing graduate studies, and/or
3. taking on leadership roles in their professions, as well as in their communities and the global society
