Academic Programs in Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineering awards degrees at both the Undergraduate and Graduate levels in Electrical Engineering.

Undergraduate students can earn a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Electrical Engineering degree. Students must complete 15 hours of career plan electives according to a plan developed by the student together with his or her advisor. The department provides sample plans in microelectronics, power and energy, and communication.

Graduate students can earn a Master's of Science (M.S.), Master's of Engineering (M.E.), or a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D).

Undergraduate Program

The Program for a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering underwent minor changes beginning in the Fall of 2009. These changes included requiring a new "Mechanical Engineering Fundamentals for Nonmajors" course requested by our Industrial Advisory Board, as well as an expansion of the Capstone Project lab from one semester to two semesters. Students enrolled prior to the Fall 2009 semester may continue to follow the "old" curriculum that was in effect when they enrolled, or move to the "new" curriculum. All students entering as of the Fall 2009 semester are required to follow the "new" curriculum.
