About The Department & Major

The Department of Electrical Engineering offers a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering. The electrical engineering degree requirements include completion of at least one of the emphases: controls, computers, power and energy, or communications and electronics. The program has outstanding laboratory and computer facilities where all students gain hands-on practical experience. Students graduate with a broad background in electrical engineering and are ready to take their place in industry.

Electrical engineers design, plan, and supervise the construction and maintenance of electrical and electronic equipment, computers, or control systems. The variety of an electrical engineer's work can range from the smallest integrated circuit to power systems that cover entire states. Virtually every device that is either plugged in or runs on batteries has had an electrical engineer involved in its design or construction somewhere in its development.


Educational Goals and Objectives:

The mission of the electrical engineering program is to provide a high quality education with extensive hands-on and laboratory experience that will enable our graduates to practice their profession with proficiency and integrity.

The goals of the electrical engineering program are to graduate engineers who:
  1. Have the laboratory skills and the ability to use modern analysis and design techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to solve practical engineering problems.

  2. Have the professional skills to function effectively in the work environment as well as in the community.

  3. Have a solid understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.

  4. Have a broad education in order to understand contemporary issues and the impacts of technology on society and the environment.

  5. Have the ability to engage in life-long learning and recognize its importance.
