Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
(code EE__BS01) (133 units)
Objectives
The objectives of the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Program are to give students:
- A solid foundation in basic science, mathematics, and EE practices and major design skills to maintain high employability, adaptability to changing technology, and an ability to conceive new technologies
- Effective communication skills to be able to progress in their careers
- An awareness of ethical and societal responsibilities
- An ability to work effectively in a team environment
Description
The bachelor's degree in electrical engineering is designed to prepare graduates for responsible engineering positions in design, development, research, applications, and operation in the fields of communications, control systems, digital signal processing systems, electromagnetics, digital and analog electronic circuits, physical electronics, computer-aided design and power systems. The curriculum is built around a strong basic core of mathematics, physics and engineering science. This is followed by intermediate courses in electrical engineering topics and finally a senior elective sequence including a senior design seminar and terminating in a capstone design course.
By choice of senior elective sequence comprehensive coverage is provided in any one of the above fields.
Laboratory facilities are available in the engineering buildings allowing for basic as well as more advanced laboratory instruction in electronics, digital signal processing, control systems, microelectronics, communications, power, and digital systems.
